RCHE Publications
The Regenstrief Center for Healthcare Engineering (RCHE) conducts research to catalyze the transformation of healthcare delivery systems by applying the principles of engineering, management, and science to healthcare system challenges. Center researchers come from nearly all academic colleges at Purdue University. RCHE’s clinical and dissemination partners represent healthcare providers and professional organizations from around the state and nation.
This series contains publications written by members of the Regenstrief Center for Healthcare Engineering.
