The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) – the world’s leading authority on systems engineering – says a systems approach can help stop massive disease outbreaks, such as Ebola.
“A systems approach would have helped lessen or eliminate many of the issues in this case and the Ebola crisis in general, by ensuring that everyone involved in any part of the system was aware of the other parts of the system and that access to information was made available to everyone,” said INCOSE President David Long. “Engineering a coordinated system is key to ensure there are no missteps, and each patient receives effective care.”
