Lean Healthcare Summit 2007
Presentations and Audio Soundtracks CD
This Summit was a landmark event for the lean healthcare movement around the world.
The event sold out with 320 people (over half from hospitals) attending from 147 organizations from the UK, Ireland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Poland, Switzerland, France, USA, Canada, Brazil, India, South Africa, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand.
Inspiring speakers with many years of experience with lean demonstrated how to move beyond lean tools and rapid improvement events to build a real lean healthcare management system. Others showed the huge potential savings from leaning the supply chain for all kinds of products used in healthcare right to the point of use. It is not an exaggeration to say that delegates went away inspired and energized for action, with a network of new contacts struggling with these same issues across the globe. We will now begin to distill the messages and stories from the Summit for wider dissemination through the global lean healthcare movement.
