Just as there is no one-size-fits-all treatment for each patient’s illness, there is no one-size-fits-all treatment for the issues that each hospital faces. Diagnosis and treatment must be done hospital-by-hospital, and the most effective diagnoses are made by first running tests and trusting what the data is telling you. Once you understand the 4-50 rule and its implications, you’ll see how easy this process will be.
Join me, Jay Arthur, author of Lean Six Sigma for Hospitals, to learn how to use healthcare data to save time, save money, and (most importantly) save lives.
