Ideas to Innovation: The Emerging Field of Resilience Engineering

Completed

The goal of this workshop was to bring together representatives from academia, industry, and government to explore ways in which collaborations can accelerate the pathway from research (ideas) to product development (innovation) and specifically how resilience engineering can be applied in complex safety-critical systems such as healthcare. This workshop was the first in UIDP’s Ideas to Innovation series, which is designed to share knowledge, spark innovative ideas, and inspire new collaborations and partnerships. The workshop began with presentations on the fundamentals of resilience engineering, followed by case presentations with expert panelists to further participants’ understanding of the concepts.

Description

An ad hoc committee will organize a meeting on the topic of resilence engineering and how this practice can lead to innovations in healthcare. The committee will identify key participants from academia, industry, and government who will be invited to make presentations and engage in discussions. The purpose will be to explore ways in which collaborations can accelerate the pathway from research (ideas) to product development (innovation) and specifically how resilience engineering can be applied in complex safety-critical systems such as healthcare. A brief, individually-authored summary of the event will be issued.
