Healthcare Systems Research
IEOR faculty conduct research impacting different levels of the healthcare system. Current projects include research at the treatment scale (radiation treatment planning and medical robotics), at the individual scale (personalized chronic disease management and addressing food insecurity), at the infrastructure scale (operation room scheduling), and at the national policy scale.
