Appleton, WI (PRWEB) April 05, 2016 -- Healthcare leaders who are improving care delivery and payment across the world will gather at the seventh annual Lean Healthcare Transformation Summit, June 15-16, 2016, in Miami, FL, to share best practices and the results of recent experiments in the application of lean management principles.
Sponsored by nonprofits, the ThedaCare Center for Healthcare Value and the Lean Enterprise Institute (LEI), the conference is expected to draw 650 executives, physicians, administrators, managers, and frontline clinical and professional staff. Summit registration is open now.
“The current state of healthcare needs a lot of work,” said John Toussaint, MD, Center CEO and CEO emeritus of ThedaCare. “The debate over whether the nation has a sustainable healthcare system is over. Decades of rising costs and poor quality proved it does not.”
To advance the creation of a sustainable system, the Summit gives healthcare professionals the latest thinking and results of experiments in three critical areas:
1. Redesign care to deliver value for patients.
2. Develop payment models that reward providers and hospitals for good outcomes rather than doing procedures.
3. Make quality and cost information transparent so patients can make decisions about their care and where to get it.
Continuing Education Credits
The two-day conference, which offers CME, CNE, and ACHE II continuing education credits, will feature keynotes by thought leaders, breakout sessions on practical applications of lean principles, pre-Summit workshops for building skills, and a CEO panel.
