Abstract
Foundational developments in OR, ranging from optimization to simulation to AI/ML and more, have enabled a substantial body of applied research to address critical problems in healthcare delivery, operations, and treatment. To ensure that this research has maximal real-world impact, we must push this work even further to fully encompass all of the messiness of applying solutions in the real world. This is not solely a question of implementation science or change management, but also of deeply multi-disiplinary collaborative efforts that ensure our models and algorithms are robust
enough to incorporate the nuances that make-or-break succesful implementations. Drawing from my "double life" as an IE/OR professor and as Chief Transformation Officer of a major academic medical center, I hope to facilitate a lively discussion about the challenges and opportunities for our community in this space.
