Management Information Systems Research Center (original) (raw)
The University of Minnesota Carlson School of Management has been at the forefront of management information systems (MIS) for more than 50 years. Founded in 1968, the Management Information Systems Research Center (MISRC) has been an important part of the university's contribution to the field, and is one of the reasons why the school is often called a "birthplace of MIS."
Today, the MISRC and the Information & Decision Sciences department continue this tradition of scholarship and research, with the support of industry partners.

MISRC Launches Effort to Collect COVID-19 Data
The Medical Industry Leadership Institute (MILI) and the Management Information Systems Research Center (MISRC) at the Carlson School of Management have launched a "COVID-19 Hospitalization Tracking Project" on March 26th to consistently track and report daily hospitalizations from all the 50 states of the United States.
As the Covid-19 pandemic unfolds across the US, one of the greatest barriers we are encountering is the absence of credible and consistent data. Currently, the only reliable daily data point available from all 50 states is the number of deaths and tests. While important, these metrics do not provide an adequate lens into the impact of the crisis on our healthcare infrastructure. Tracking daily hospitalization data is a major step forward in quantifying the current impact on local hospital systems, modeling and forecasting future utilization needs, and tracking the rate of change in the disease severity. We made a call to action in Health Affairs and have been in contact with various state agencies to collect this type of data. A University press release on this project can be found here.
