Cluster Chairs

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are complementary terms and concepts that refer to strategies and processes that enable organizations and systems to become more reflective of and responsive to the identities, values, and experiences of important stakeholder groups.  This track features presentations that address DEI issues in healthcare settings using OR/MS and analytics methods.  Examples include but are not limited to quantifying and reducing health disparities, efforts to increase stakeholder engagement, and studies to improve social welfare and/or wellbeing in communities. Emphasis is particularly placed on traditionally underrepresented and marginalized groups in the health care setting.
