Greetings from the Healthcare Value Leaders Network, a collaboration of 36 healthcare delivery organizations that are working to improve healthcare through lean thinking.
|
NETWORK INFORMATION SESSION SPACE STILL AVAILABLE - MARCH 29
| | Want to learn from and collaborate with other leading healthcare organizations?
Are you a healthcare delivery organization that has demonstrated results from lean? Do you have executive-level support and leadership for your efforts? Are you willing to share your lessons learned, collaborating with others to define, measure, and share lean healthcare success?
Our next info session will be held March 29, with a reception the evening before, in Skokie IL, just outside of Chicago. You can join other organizations that are interested in a potential fourth Network group that would start in late 2011.
At the meeting, you can learn more about the activities and benefits of Network membership, hearing from a current member and meeting other prospective members.
If you would like to discuss the Network info session and potential membership, please email Mark Graban ( mgraban@lean.org) or Helen Zak ( hzak@lean.org) or call 617-871-2900.
