ACADEMIC PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT

Played a significant role in the design of a Health Systems concentration for MS-level students in the Department of Systems Science and Industrial Engineering at Binghamton University. When introduced in 2008, it was one of four programs housed in U.S. engineering schools.

Developed a Health Systems minor for undergraduate students in the Industrial and Systems Engineering program at Binghamton University.

Developed an Executive Master of Science in Health Systems Program (12-month long, weekend-only) to be offered in Manhattan, New York, starting April 2013. Revenue from this program exceeds $1,000,000.

Proposed and developed a new MS degree program in Health Systems Engineering starting Fall 2014. The program has been approved at the university level and is currently being reviewed by SUNY Central (Albany, NY).

Developed curriculum for Healthcare Lean Six Sigma training at both the Green Belt and Yellow Belt levels. This training program has been successfully delivered at two hospitals (Johnson City and Yonkers, NY) and will be offered for the first time in Manhattan in the Spring 2013 semester.

OTHER RESEARCH ACTIVITIES AND UNFUNDED PROJECTS 1. Digital humans for modeling human performance in various manual material handling type of

activities/applications, with specific emphasis on healthcare delivery systems: sonography procedures, operating room design, paramedics, interactive displays, and other patient handling devices/activities.

2. Analysis of campus traffic during move-in days at Binghamton University using discrete event simulation. As requested by university administration and Chief of Campus Police, the research team conducted a comprehensive assessment of the campus plans (including staging, parking, resource requirements and allocation) to prepare for move-in days of new and current students. The goal is to improve customer satisfaction and reduce traffic congestions during move-in days (three days).

3. Using process engineering to improve work flow and office organization at the Office of International Students and Scholars Services (ISSS) at Binghamton University. This project involved the use of various systems science and industrial engineering tools to improve the operational efficiency, effectiveness, and customer service of the ISSS. ISSS Director (Ms. Ellen Badger) requested the Watson Institute for Systems Excellence (WISE) to assist in this effort (Fall 2011).

4. Research on improving healthcare delivery systems for women veterans with the ultimate goal being starting a research center of excellence at Binghamton University that focuses on continuous process improvement of healthcare services for women veterans. This effort led to the development of a white paper that was submitted to Assemblywoman Lupardo’s and Senator Gillibrand’s offices.

5. Worked with Chief of Police at Binghamton University to minimize “network clearing time” in the case of possible emergencies (e.g., chemical spill, fire) using discrete event simulation, by evaluating traffic congestions and resource requirements/allocation.


6. Worked with Chief of Police at Binghamton University to model traffic egress on-campus after large-scale events, with the goal being improving customer service by directing traffic to various campus exits to ensure that each guest can leave campus in less than 15 minutes.

7. Worked with the Dean of the Watson School to assess and evaluate the current operations of the Graduate School at Binghamton University and its interactions with various units on-campus, with some emphasis on the role of Graduate Schools in Premier Public Universities.

8. Modeling and simulation of heart functions and decision support/information systems for cardiology. A decision support system for hybrid scheduling of patients in catheterization labs is being developed.

9. Worked with the Dean of the Watson School to assess and evaluate the current organizational structure of the Decker School of Nursing at Binghamton University, with some emphasis on current operations, space utilization, and bench-marking against other similar and aspirational nursing schools at the national level.
