[Histonet] RE: Are there no LEAN labs out there?

Tue Oct 14 14:51:31 CDT 2008

HI Hazel

Our lab has, in fact, been "LEANED".  We were somewhat limited by budget of course, but we did a fair amount of streamlining.  We are at 5 sites in the city, so each site presented it's own challenges.  We are currently in the process of maintaining our processes.  

If you would like to e mail me off - line, we can 'chat' some more.

Thanks
Jacquie

Hazel,
I am scheduled to attend a Surgical Pathology Lean training workshop at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. You can see the information at this link  http://www.henryford.com/body.cfm?id=50135

I don't know anyone who works in the lab there but you might find it useful to contact the histo lab by phone to have your questions addressed.

Hope this helps.

I have not heard from any labs that have gone to the LEAN process.   Are
there none out there?

I have heard from labs who are interested in it but not one response
from a lab who is LEAN.

Thanks.
