Beyond Lean: Reducing Costs and Increasing Revenue
Two-Day, In-Person Workshop or Four Virtual Half-Days
How to improve all measure of quality and serve more patients
In an environment filled with technological, regulatory and administrative change –and a pandemic– hospitals and practices must serve significantly more patients while accepting lower reimbursement. It is a “business” model that would not work for most businesses.
Short-term staff reductions and one-time cost savings are not a solution…and reducing quality of patient care is not an option. Fortunately, you can do more with less without sacrificing patient care. The solution lies in a healthcare-specific methodology that leverages the best elements from CQI, Lean, Six Sigma and RPI.
This workshop will equip you with the tools and techniques you need to better understand your processes and implement lasting solutions.
