CAMLS Short Course Series
Lean Healthcare
Course Description
Lean Thinking
is not just for manufacturing. A great deal of waste
is hidden in the healthcare industry. These wastes
impact both the cost and the quality of healthcare
and can lead to mistakes that can threaten patient
well-being. Applying lean initiatives to healthcare
can thus make a tremendous improvement. Learn from
the successful cases of various healthcare
departments and organizations (e.g., hospitals,
emergency rooms, doctor’s offices, pharmacies,
laboratories, etc.) and establish a safer,
more-efficient healthcare environment.
Who should attend the course?
Hospital executives, hospital managers, directors,
doctors, nurses, and all administrative and
supporting staff.
