They maintain that the U.S.\nhealthcare system, while having many excellent components, has evolved\nhaphazardly over time.\u0026nbsp; And although it\nhas not failed entirely, like any system where attention is paid to individual\ncomponents at the expense of the system as a whole, it can never hope to\nsucceed. Above all, they point out that the U.S. system does not provide high-value\nhealthcare; it has the highest costs in the world, and yet many other countries\nhave lower infant mortality rates and better life expectancy. \u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003EEngineering\nthe System of Healthcare Delivery\u003C\/em\u003E covers a wide range of\nsubjects, including health care costs and economics, barriers to change,\nintegrated health systems, electronic records and computer-based patient\nsupport as well as patient safety and palliative and chronic care.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EThe mission of the Tennenbaum\nInstitute is the creation and dissemination of information, knowledge, and\nskills to enable fundamental changes of complex organizational systems. The\nbook series on Enterprise Systems is one of the ways TI facilitates the\ndissemination of knowledge created by its many partners in academia, industry,\nand government as well as the Institute\u2019s faculty and staff. TI\u2019s research and\neducation addresses a rich mixture of concepts, principle, models, methods, and\ntools applicable to a wide range of enterprise domains. Two domains of\nparticular emphasis at TI are healthcare delivery and global manufacturing. Research\nand education in these two domains are enhanced by strong partnerships with\nleading companies and agencies in these domains, as well as thought leaders\nfrom many organizations.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EWilliam B. \u0022Bill\u0022 Rouse, professor in the School of\nIndustrial and Systems Engineering and executive director of the\nuniversity-wide \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.ti.gatech.edu\/\u0022\u003ETennenbaum Institute for Enterprise \nTransformation\u003C\/a\u003E (TI), recently published, \u003Cem\u003EEngineering the System \nof Healthcare Delivery\u003C\/em\u003E, the third volume in\nthe Tennenbaum Institute Series on Enterprise Systems. \u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Bill Rouse Releases New Book: Engineering the System of Healthcare Delivery"}],"uid":"27328","created_gmt":"2010-06-01 11:31:41","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:06:39","author":"Edie Cohen","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2010-06-01T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2010-06-01T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"57719":{"id":"57719","type":"image","title":"William B. \u0022Bill\u0022 Rouse","body":null,"created":"1449176051","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 20:54:11","changed":"1475894506","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:41:46","alt":"William B. \u0022Bill\u0022 Rouse","file":{"fid":"190640","name":"Rouse_Bill_-_Preferred_Thumb.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Rouse_Bill_-_Preferred_Thumb_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Rouse_Bill_-_Preferred_Thumb_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":59192,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/Rouse_Bill_-_Preferred_Thumb_0.jpg?itok=s7YGRcMS"}},"57721":{"id":"57721","type":"image","title":"Volume 3 in Tennenbaum Institute Series on Enterprise Systems","body":null,"created":"1449176051","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 20:54:11","changed":"1475894506","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:41:46","alt":"Volume 3 in Tennenbaum Institute Series on Enterprise Systems","file":{"fid":"190641","name":"Rousecover.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Rousecover_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Rousecover_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":2745308,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/Rousecover_0.jpg?itok=lvABstxS"}}},"media_ids":["57719","57721"],"groups":[{"id":"1242","name":"School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISYE)"}],"categories":[{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"}],"keywords":[{"id":"109","name":"Georgia Tech"},{"id":"426","name":"isye"},{"id":"1727","name":"tennenbaum institute"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:barbara.christopher@isye.gatech.edu\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBarbara\n \nChristopher\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIndustrial and Systems Engineering\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E404.385.3102\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
