Design the Future of Healthcare
Recommended in 2014 by the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology as a way to accelerate improvements in healthcare and lower costs, health systems engineering is a strategy the industry needs to help advance and optimize healthcare. With millions gaining access to coverage through the Affordable Care Act, health system engineers will play a critical role in ensuring patients can access high quality, safe and affordable care as the industry continues to grow. UCF Online’s Healthcare Systems Engineering programs can provide you with the engineering and critical thinking tools needed to improve the overall operations of a healthcare system. All professional backgrounds are encouraged to apply for admission for both the certificate and master’s programs. Unlock your leadership potential today.
Choose from two different degree options designed to fit your schedule and timeline.
Why Healthcare Systems Sciences?
Healthcare systems are becoming increasingly complex. To cope with this complexity, organizations will need healthcare systems engineering experts to ensure the effective delivery of care needed by patients. Through the online graduate Healthcare Systems Engineering program tracks, students will learn how to redesign current healthcare systems and, in turn, become a part of a necessary systemic change in this industry.
