Mark Graban, of the Healthcare Value Leaders Network and author of Lean Hospitals: Improving Quality, Patient Safety and Employee Satisfaction (affiliate program) and Mark Sessumes, of TMAC, are amongst the sponsors of an innovative gathering to be held in the Dallas / Fort Worth area on March 11. They are calling this event “Manufacturing Lean Healthcare Bypass the Trial & Error Approach.” The event is designed to bring together experienced senior lean leaders from the manufacturing world with senior leaders from healthcare who are interested in lean or are already applying lean in their organization. Many of the leaders in lean healthcare had direct mentoring from manufacturing leaders in their community, including ThedaCare, Iowa Health System, University of Michigan Health System, Virginia Mason Medical Center, and others. Listen and learn about their networking efforts, and maybe you can help arrange similar collaborations in your area.
