Why Go To Japan, You May Ask?

Because this is where Lean concepts originated and were perfected by Toyota.

Overview of Enna's Lean Healthcare Tour

The tour will focus on how to create your own metrics and improvement principles, including how to remain care-focused and how to improve relevant measurements while increasing the care your patients receive.

You will be able to design your own Lean programs by understanding how Lean Medical Leaders measure and assess variation, design their team concepts, and their time-to-be-seen measurements.
