The Health Roundtable's Lean Healthcare Program is now in its fourth year, with over 400 graduates at over a dozen member health services.  In 2010, we are focusing our efforts on in-house programs at member health services who want to train larger numbers of staff.  Please contact us for more information about these.

 

Please see our Lean Healthcare Program and application materials for 2010.

Here are examples of projects that participants in the Lean Healthcare Program have provided:
