We all face the challenges of budget constraints, resistance to change, and sustaining improvements, and they are not going to go away without a comprehensive improvement plan. How are you going to overcome these problems?

WCBF’s 10th annual Lean Six Sigma and Process Improvement in Healthcare Summit will arm you with the knowledge and strategy to realize your process improvement objectives and be able to provide a positive response to the following questions:

• Are expenses improving year after year?
• Is productivity improving year after year?
• Is quality improving year after year?

Returning in 2011 following our previous nine sell-out annual events, WCBF’s 10th annual Lean Six Sigma and Process Improvement in Healthcare Summit is set to be WCBF’s most extensive and best health care event to date.
