His paper can be found at the following link [https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/16f1/65b89dae778860a32fd386e4d247383267c a.pdf]\n \;\nI particularly liked the article because as system engine ers we all know the perils (and cost) of the common approach to jump to a technological solution. In the starting introduction\, the article states: \n \;\n"The delivery of safe and high-quality health care has reached a crisis in the United States in terms of personal loss due to preventable errors\, as well as economic loss. Estimates of the economic costs in the intensive care unit (ICU)\, which represents just a portion of the health care system at large\, approach nearly 1% of the gross domestic product.1 A natural impulse to address these challenges is to introduce technology to mitigate risks due to human error and communication. \;Although the introduction of technology to health care may have contributed to improve ments in mortality and morbidity\, its application has not proven a panace a. In fact in some cases\, it has spawned new challenges for safety and qu ality"\n\nI'm looking forward to hearing about this topic from Dr. Ravitz and I hope that people can block out the hour to listen in as well.\n\nPre senter Bios:\n\nAlan Ravitz\nProfessional Staff member at the Johns Hopkin s University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL)\, is the Chief Engineer for APL&rsquo\;s National Health Mission Area. \;\n\nIn this capacity\, Dr . Ravitz oversees technical aspects of a range of projects spanning biomed ical and healthcare topics including neural prosthetics\, precision medici ne\, systems biology\, biomaterials\, health surveillance\, neurological h ealth and human performance\, patient safety\, precision medicine\, and sy stems engineering. Prior to involvement in these areas\, he supported APL& rsquo\;s undersea warfare programs by developing signal and information pr ocessing technology for aircraft\, surface ship\, and submarine sonar and combat systems.\n\nDr. Ravitz is a Certified Systems Engineering Professio nal (CSEP) by The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) an d a licensed Professional Engineer (Maryland). He is also the Acting Progr am Chair for the Healthcare Systems Engineering Master&rsquo\;s degree pro gram within the JHU Whiting School of Engineering (Engineering for Profess ionals Program). Dr. Ravitz has degrees in Biomedical Engineering (BS)\, E lectrical Engineering (MS)\, Technical Management (MS)\, and Systems Engin eering (PhD).
