Clean sheet for Amnis and the Institute of Healthcare Management
The first masterclass in a series of five being run jointly by the
specialist healthcare quality, innovation and productivity improvement
enabler, Amnis, and the Institute of Healthcare Management (IHM) has
been hailed a resounding success, with all the delegates rating the
programme as ‘excellent' or ‘very good'.
The programme focused on the problems of introducing Lean and Service
Improvement methodologies into healthcare organisations and was called
‘Service Improvement & Lean for Managers and Executives'. Participants
came from a variety of primary and secondary care organisations as well
as from private organisations.
Jeremy Morris, one of the delegates, said: "The session was clear, well
run, participative and engaging. I found the clarity and practicality
of the approach excellent.
"There are many things that I will take away from today, including the
key experiences from other participants."
Mark Eaton, of Amnis, said: "It was great that everyone derived so much
from the session. It is further proof of the benefits of sharing
knowledge and experiences both between similar organisations and across
health economies."
The IHM's Phil Slinger said: "This was a great start to our programme
with Amnis and I am delighted by the excellent feedback and
testimonials. We're already discussing running a similar programme in
Scotland and are already planning our programme with Amnis for 2010."
Dates for future events are:
17th November - Creating a Culture of Continuous Improvement (London)
1st December - Problem Solving Tools for Improvement & Innovation
(London)
20th January - Sustaining Lean (Birmingham)
26th February - Thinking Strategically (Birmingham)
