becoming a force for change in the industry. Connected care is the real\u2010time, electronic communication between and among patients, providers, and community support institutions which includes, but is not limited to, telehealth, remote patient monitoring, and safe, effective, coordinated and secure communication. As the American health care system moves toward more value\u2010based care, remote patient communication, in\u2010home health and disease monitoring will play an increasingly important role in patient services. Connected Care improves access to care, helps providers and patients avoid costly health care events, increases convenience, and empowers patients, their families and caregivers. Healthcare delivery must not only improve quality and control costs but also reach to the other determinants of health (social, environmental, behavioral), as its ultimate goal is advancing the health and well\u2010being of the individuals in the community.<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                    <div

individuals have limited access to care and numerous disparities in health outcomes exist.\u00a0 We welcome talented researchers and practitioners to INFORMS Healthcare 2021 to help accelerate the development and use of innovative approaches to transform healthcare to a system that is equitable, preventive, proactive, evidence\u2010based, and person\u2010centered.\u00a0 The conference will serve as an outlet for state-of-the-art healthcare research in several areas, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Data Analytics<\/li>\n<li>Medical Decision Making<\/li>\n<li>Capacity and Supply Chain Management<\/li>\n<li>Cost and Comparative Effectiveness<\/li>\n<li>Health Policy<\/li>\n<li>Healthcare Operations<\/li>\n<li>Health Finance and Economics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition, all of us have

Connected care is the real\u2010time, electronic communication between and among patients, providers, and community support institutions which includes, but is not limited to, telehealth, remote patient monitoring, and safe, effective, coordinated and secure communication. As the American health care system moves toward more value\u2010based care, remote patient communication, in\u2010home health and disease monitoring will play an increasingly important role in patient services. Connected Care improves access to care, helps providers and patients avoid costly health care events, increases convenience, and empowers patients, their families and caregivers. Healthcare delivery must not only improve quality and control costs but also reach to the other determinants of health (social, environmental, behavioral), as its ultimate goal is advancing the health and well\u2010being of the individuals in the community.<\/p>\n<img src=\"https:\/\/meetings.informs.org\/wordpress\/healthcare2021\/files\/2020\/02\/take_something_back.jpg\" title=\"Take_Something_Back\" alt=\"Take_Something_Back\">\n<img src=\"https:\/\/meetings.informs.org\/wordpress\/healthcare2021\/files\/2020\/02\/learn_best_practices.jpg\" title=\"Learn_Best_Practices\" alt=\"two hands holding a heart\">\n<p>This premier healthcare conference will bring together sensing and digital communication technology developers, operational systems engineers, social\u2010behavioral scientists, and health services researchers, as well as practitioners and policy makers in various sectors of the health care industry to address these barriers and challenges.<\/p>\n<h2>Interested in learning more?<\/h2> <p>Sign up to receive email updates when new information becomes available.<\/p> <p><br \/><\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Welcome Message from the Organizing Committee<\/strong><\/h6> <h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Welcome to INFORMS Healthcare 2021!<\/strong><\/h2> <p>Dear colleagues,<\/p> <p>Despite rapidly developing technology, new data sources, and process advances, healthcare delivery in general remains reactive and hospital centered.\u00a0 Further, many individuals have limited access to care and numerous disparities in health outcomes exist.\u00a0 We welcome talented researchers and practitioners to INFORMS Healthcare 2021 to help accelerate the development and use of innovative approaches to transform healthcare to a system that is equitable, preventive, proactive, evidence\u2010based, and person\u2010centered.\u00a0 The conference will serve as an outlet for state-of-the-art healthcare research in several areas, including:<\/p> <ul> <li>Data Analytics<\/li> <li>Medical Decision Making<\/li> <li>Capacity and Supply Chain Management<\/li> <li>Cost and Comparative Effectiveness<\/li> <li>Health Policy<\/li> <li>Healthcare Operations<\/li> <li>Health Finance and Economics<\/li> <\/ul> <p>In addition, all of us have faced a common threat \u2013 COVID-19, which has been a focus for many INFORMS researchers over the past year.
