Are you running a tight, economically sound and efficient operation? Find out at the Healthcare Systems Process Improvement (HSPI) Conference Feb. 20-22 in San Antonio where process improvement professionals and management engineers meet and enjoy exhibits and education on the latest in operational and quality improvement tools, methods and concepts, including lean, Six Sigma, productivity, benchmarking, simulation and project management.
Sponsored by the Society for Healthcare Systems (SHS), an association within the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISE), HSPI will include keynote presentations by Rubin Pillay, M.D., Ph.D., a medical futurist and visiting professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and Mark Graban, a consultant, author and founder of LeanBlog.org.
Describing the conference content as “high-quality,” HSPI 2019 Conference Chair Eddie Pérez-Ruberté, BayCare Health System, Bradenton, Florida, says that HSPI takeaways cover “everything from simulation and patient throughput improvements to emotional intelligence, change management and leadership.”
Pérez-Ruberté raves that HSPI is the “highest-energy conference I attend every year! I love the energy, the camaraderie and the knowledge sharing the conference fosters! … I come back renewed every year after attending the HSPI Conference.”
