ADVANCING THE AGILITY OF GENERAL SYSTEMS IN THE HEALTH CARE DOMAIN: The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE www.incose.org ) is concerned with complex hybrid systems of all types--including interacting people, equipment, materials, software, and their environment. Although the software development community has advanced the practice of agile development of software, the system-level opportunities and challenges of agility are much broader than software alone. This conference is about the current landscape, examples of progress in agility for more general systems, and the road ahead. It builds on an earlier conference held in 2015.

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT: The overall system and system components of Health Care (including its delivery processes, pharmaceuticals and other therapies and preventive measures, medical devices, and its regulatory and economic framework) are challenged to be "agile systems". Agility challenges arise from shifting threats, expectations, and competition, advances in technology and medical science, and evolving economic and regulatory aspects.

LEARN, CONTRIBUTE, COLLABORATE: This two-day conference includes multiple session learning tracks as well as collaboration session opportunities to advance the state of the community. See below for the detailed schedule of tracks, topics, and sessions.

EASILY REACHED LOCATION, PRODUCTIVE FACILITIES: The meeting site is in Schaumburg, IL (Chicago region), easily reached by Midwestern driving or through Chicago O'Hare Airport. Lunch will be provided at the meeting facility on both days. The venue is the excellent conference center provided by the American Society of Anesthesiologists, 1061 American Lane, Schaumburg, IL.

YOU MUST REGISTER IN ADVANCE TO ATTEND: Thanks to the conference organizers and sponsors, the registration fee for this event is a modest $100, for the full two-day event, including lunches and refreshments. However, meeting size is limited and you must register in advance to attend. On-line registration is through this web site: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/incose-conference-on-agile-systems-in-health-care-tickets-21830838626
