Richard Rahn, one of the authors of this course, said “Continuous improvement is an urgent need in all hospitals (even the best ones), and the methods and philosophy of Lean are being adapted quickly in hospitals around the world. Everyone needs to be involved, and this 90-minute introduction to the topic is the best, most consistent, and fastest way to get your staff excited and engaged.”

The principals of the company, Richard Rahn and Gerard Leone, are the authors of several books on the subject of Lean in hospitals, including Lean in the OR, Supplies Management in the OR, Quick Changeover in the OR, Value Stream Mapping in the OR, and Lean Training Games in the OR. They are also authors of the comprehensive online training course Lean in the OR Certificate Course.
