While the diagnosis and treatment of patients must remain in the hands of healthcare professionals, the application of engineering, management, and scientific principles has the potential to reshape the healthcare delivery landscape as they have in many non-healthcare industries.
The Regenstrief Center uses a model of the healthcare system to illustrate its four main research categories on system performance. A majority of the Regenstrief Center’s current projects focus on the system’s capacity to provide primary care and chronic care and to support leading practices across healthcare settings.
Every proposal submitted to the Regenstrief Center is reviewed based upon the following VALID criteria.
Visibility: How will this project achieve visibility within the partnering organization(s), across RCHE community of faculty and students, and for RCHE and the partnering organization(s)?
Activity with Healthcare Organizations: What healthcare organizations will be involved in this project? How will the organization(s) benefit from their involvement?
Leverage: How can the success of this project be leveraged beyond its current scope?
Impact: How will the impact of the project be measured?
Discipline: What discipline/s from engineering, management, science, and/or healthcare will provide the intellectual basis and/or tools for the project?
Applying academic research to transform healthcare delivery.
Project proposals are typically solicited once per academic year. Send contact information to rche@purdue.edu to be added to the RFP notification list.
