Has your organization attempted to reduce costs but only realized short-term results? Have patient care and ED throughput and capacity constraints become serious issues for your hospital? Using Lean Six Sigma, it is possible to significantly bring and keep costs down and improve patient care, throughput and capacity (including ED, surgery, discharge time of day) by 5 to 15 percent. Lean Six Sigma is an innovative approach to reducing costs and optimizing throughput while maintaining or enhancing quality through the systematic removal of process waste and delays. Using real-life case studies, you'll learn about various cost reduction methods and how staff core competencies and organizational resources affect cost reduction. As a result of this program, you will be able to develop and implement a tailored action plan to quickly reduce your costs and sustain those reductions while improving quality and reducing medical errors. For those who will be attending this program, we recommend the following book: "Lean-Six Sigma for Healthcare: A Senior Leader Guide to Improving Cost and Throughput."
