What is Lean in Healthcare?
Why Lean in Healthcare?
Montana State University Industrial & Management Systems Engineering (IMSE) program in collaboration with the MT Flex Grant selects two students to participate in a summer internship performing Lean Rapid Improvement Events in 6-8 Critical Access Hospitals across rural Montana. Over each two-week event, students work in conjunction with hospital staff to apply their knowledge of Lean principles and tools towards a pre-determined improvement project within each facility.
