Closing the Loop by Operationalizing Systems Engineering and Design (CLOSED)
Motivation:
Specific Aims :
Aim 1:​Use systems engineering and patient engagement to design, develop, and refine a highly reliable “closed loop” system for diagnostic tests and referrals that ensures diagnostic orders and follow-up occur reliably within clinically- and patient-important time-frames.
​
Aim 2: Use systems engineering and patient engagement to design, develop, and refine a highly reliable “closed loop” system for symptoms that ensures clinicians receive and act on feedback about evolving symptoms and physical findings of concern to patients or clinicians.
​
Aim 3: Design for generalizability across health systems more broadly so that the processes created in Aims 1 and 2 are effective in (1) a practice in an underserved community, (2) a large tele-medicine system, and (3) a representative range of simulated other health system settings and populations.

Alongside HSyE's own training programs, there are many other educational programs associated with Northeastern University.
​
HSyE affiliated faculty created both the Healthcare System Operations Minor for undergraduate IE students, as well as a Human Factors Master's Degree. The Gordon Engineering Leadership Program allows Northeastern graduate students to combine their Master's Degree with the Graduate Certificate in Engineering Leadership. LEADERs (Leadership Education Advancing Discovery through Embedded Research) is a new experiential learning initiative that integrates leadership and professional-skills education with a research project at an organization in industry or the public sector.
