We are excited by the growth of the I-PrACTISE initiative (Improving PrimAry Care Through Industrial and Systems Engineering), which focuses on building partnerships between primary care and industrial and systems engineers (ISyE) to accelerate the improvement of important problems.

​

Systems engineering uses a range of rigorous approaches to improve the quality, efficiency, safety, and outcomes of complex processes, including healthcare. The Institute of Medicine, National Academy of Engineering, National Science Foundation, and Agency for Health Care Quality and Research all have recommended greater collaborations between ISyE and healthcare professionals to improve broken healthcare processes. I-PrACTISE was created specifically to convene, catalyze, and support clinician-engineer partnerships that focus on improving the quality, safety, and experience of primary care for patients, clinicians, and staff.
