Patient-Centered Lean® Practitioner Training

Location: 480 Bedford Road Chappaqua, NY 10514

April 8-11, 2013

Get the tools you need to empower caregivers do what they do best… care.

With new reimbursement regulations, cutting waste and improving efficiency are common goals for all healthcare organizations, and finally there’s a way to achieve these goals while simultaneously enabling caregivers to improve the patient experience.

Planetree’s Patient-Centered Lean^® is a unique methodology that helps health care organizations balance the competing demands of efficiency and cost reduction with the mission of providing personalized and highly-responsive care to patients and creating a nurturing work environment for staff.

Its distinctive approach integrates Planetree’s well-established patient-centered care model with Lean and Six Sigma methods and best practices, creating a method of aligning organizational strategic planning with value stream management to enhance the patient, resident, family and staff experience through improved operational efficiency and effectiveness.
