In this section, we briefly discuss recent efforts undertaken by the authors (as part of a larger, multidisciplinary research team) to closely examine issues related to the modeling, analysis, and management of ICUs. This collaborative project centers on ICU operations within the Veterans Affairs Pittsburgh Healthcare System (VAPHS) and is supported by the Veterans Engineering Resource Center (VERC) which was established at the VAPHS in 2009. The VAPHS is a major healthcare provider in the Pittsburgh area, serving the diverse medical needs of military veterans. The research team includes industrial engineering faculty, medical researchers, physicians, postdoctoral associates, and graduate students at the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC). Oversight was provided by management and industrial engineering staff members at the VAPHS.
