Over the past half-century, the development of simulation and systems engineering has driven a revolution in safety and performance in the aerospace industry. In this university podcast, John Evans, a VP with Lockheed Martin, discusses how the health care industry has the opportunity to leverage these tools to improve outcomes and address the ballooning cost of healthcare. He provides examples of how these approaches can be used to drive efficiency and outcomes in intensive care, in particular. Evans presented as part of a panel called “Using technology to redesign the delivery of health care”, held at the 2011 GSB Healthcare Summit, sponsored by the Stanford Graduate School of Business.
John D. Evans is corporate vice president, business innovation, for Lockheed Martin Corporation. Before joining Lockheed, Evans served as a program manager for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Prior to that, he served as chief technical officer for the West Coast microtechnology startup Microfabrica, as lead MEMS scientist for New Jersey based Fortune 500 medical device firm Becton Dickinson, and as a renewable energy consultant for the United States Congress Office of Technology Assessment. Evans earned a BA in physics from Carleton College, an MS in civil engineering and PhD in mechanical engineering from the University of California, Berkeley, and an MBA from Duke University.
