- Lean is a method that concentrates on reducing waste by improving work flow and eliminating mistakes.
Together, these methodologies provide healthcare organizations a powerful means to reduce waste, improve customer service, and reduce costs.
The features of this customized course include:
- Audio presentations with corresponding visuals
- Asynchronous online discussion boards
- Weekly, instructor-led, live Web sessions
