CICAS continues speaker series on IT and health care TODAY

CICAS (Centre for Interdisciplinary Collaborations in the Arts and Sciences) is delighted to present the second talk in its 2014-2015 series titled IT in Health Care Scheduling by Dr. Aroha Page and Dr. Haibin Zhu. The talk will be held today, Wednesday, October 29, from 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm, in F210.

As Canada’s population is rapidly aging, health care services (medical specialists, expensive equipment and facilities, and special operating rooms) are becoming less and less accessible to patients as clients. It is required to assign limited expensive services to the most required patients. Optimized scheduling is the only way to achieve this goal. This presentation will discuss the requirement of IT in scheduling of health care sectors, and present our ways to meet this requirement, i.e., auction-based online scheduling.
