Healthcare in Indiana is experiencing a remarkable transformation. Providers are facing today’s challenges with “Lean Thinking” to minimize waste, improve outcomes and steward respectful employee relationships. As defined by author Mark Graban in Lean Hospitals, these wastes take the form of defects, waiting, inventory, human potential, motion, overproduction, transportation, and overprocessing. The most successful organizations today are driving these changes to the front lines, where the work takes place, with a focus on customer/patient value. Join this inaugural event as Indiana-based healthcare organizations gather to learn, network, and share with a common goal of “Creating a State of Healthcare Excellence.”
