Cambridge, MA (PRWEB) January 18, 2014 -- Lean management and methods can help healthcare professionals and leaders deal with today’s pressure of navigating an uncertain future while reducing costs and improving quality to deliver the best possible patient care.
How to get started implementing lean principles and keep the effort on the right track is the subject of Key Concepts of Lean in Healthcare, a live online workshop presented by the nonprofit Lean Enterprise Institute (LEI). The workshop will air in four 2-hour modules, conveniently delivered over a 2-week period between February 11-20, 2014.
