Average Course Rating

This course addresses the healthcare systems engineering objectives, responsibilities, and activities during the engineering development phase of the system lifecycle using Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools. Healthcare systems engineering procedures and tools used during this phase are identified and their use illustrated. Topics include the relationship between a system specification and the system design, risk management and patient safety, system design models, healthcare provider and patient integration into the design process, and healthcare system design disciplines and practices. The course uses a healthcare system scenario extensively to apply systems engineering principles and practices through development of a Systems Modeling Language (SysML) model.
