Title: Decision-making in hospital flow management
Abstract :
This talk will present the stakes of flow management in the health domain, as well as the specificities of healthcare production systems compared to manufacturing systems. We will see some examples of work, carried out in the G-SCOP laboratory, showing the contribution of engineering sciences, and more particularly of industrial engineering, for the study and the improvement of the organization of healthcare production systems, and more particularly hospital sterilization departments and operating rooms. This talk will thus show how modeling, performance evaluation, mathematical optimization, risk analysis, and AI can contribute to making the management of healthcare production systems more efficient.
Biography:
Maria Di Mascolo, is Senior Researcher at the CNRS (French National Center for Scientific Research) and a member of the G-SCOP (Grenoble-Sciences for Design, Optimization and Production) laboratory.
Her main scientific interests are related to the modelling, analysis and optimization of systems for the production of goods and services, with a special interest in the healthcare production systems and the sustainability. She uses stochastic models, optimization methods, and seeks to integrate Artificial Intelligence into decision-support systems. She is a member of the project’s steering committee of the DCarbo (Data for Decarbonization) major national project. She heads the Industrial Engineering chapter of the SAGIP (French Society of Automatic Control, Industrial and Systems Engineering), and is editor-in-chief of the ISTE OpenScience journal “Industrial and Systems Engineering“. She is Deputy Head of Sustainable Industrial Engineering Master’s degree at Grenoble Institute of Technology.
