Johns Hopkins Symposium on Healthcare Operations

Johns Hop­kins Uni­ver­si­ty has a long tra­di­tion of apply­ing Oper­a­tions Research to improve health­care oper­a­tions. Indeed, Johns Hop­kins, home to the U.S. Army Oper­a­tions Research Office between 1948 and 1958, is the birth­place of the field of health­care oper­a­tions man­age­ment in the Unit­ed States.

The Johns Hop­kins Sym­po­sium on Health­care Oper­a­tions (JHSHO), start­ed in 2016, has a ded­i­cat­ed theme for each sym­po­sium and fea­ture glob­al thought lead­ers from both acad­e­mia and prac­tice. Host­ed by Johns Hop­kins Carey Busi­ness School and sup­port­ed by Johns Hop­kins University’s busi­ness, med­ical, and pub­lic health fac­ul­ty, the sym­po­sium series aims to (1) show­case cut­ting edge oper­a­tions research applied to health­care, and (2) facil­i­tate exchange between aca­d­e­mics, prac­ti­tion­ers, and pol­i­cy mak­ers in a mul­ti­dis­ci­pli­nary platform.

Octo­ber 15, 2021, Fri­day, 1pm–5:30pm (East­ern Time)

The third sym­po­sium, spon­sored by the Hop­kins Busi­ness of Health Ini­tia­tive, focus­es on sup­ply chain resilience, an urgent man­date emerg­ing from painful and teach­able moments dur­ing the COVID-19 pandemic.

This sym­po­sium fea­tures pio­neer­ing sup­ply chain schol­ars — includ­ing Willy Shih (Har­vard), David Sim­chi-Levi(MIT), Christo­pher S. Tang (UCLA), and Srid­har Tayur (Carnegie Mel­lon) — and gov­ern­ment speak­ers from CDC (Maryann D’A­lessan­dro), FDA (Tam­my R. Beck­ham), and HHS (John Fre­den­berg and Bryan Hearts­field) to spot­light cut­ting-edge research in sup­ply chain resilience and devel­op pan­dem­ic-proof sup­ply chain solutions.
