Based on the work described in co-organizer Michael Mauboussin's "The Success Equation: Untangling Skill and Luck in Business, Sports, and Investing", this topical meeting will review the conceptual and methodological strategies needed to distinguish skill from luck to the extent possible, and to use those distinctions to help formulate better decisions.

Summary: This SFI Business Network meeting will focus on the challenges of analyzing the US healthcare system across multiple scales. The scales of healthcare include, inter alia, biological, individual, social, organizational, system, and national.

These cascading effects may or may not be compatible with the underlying motivation of the original change(s). Policy makers and researchers alike need tools and techniques to help understand the impact of changes to accessibility, outcomes, and costs in the complex healthcare system. This Business Network meeting will focus on data, models, and techniques that are currently available and emerging to
