[Histonet] Lean Histology

[Janice Mahoney]

Jesus,
We have implemented LEAN in my laboratory and have seen remarkable
gains.  
I will be speaking at the New Mexico regional National Meeting in June
about our experience.  I hope you can attend.
We cut TAT, reduced space, reduced cost and continue to make
improvements.  AP is different but the principles can be applied
anywhere.

Was wondering if anyone can share with me experiences were your lab
has
gone through the LEAN process,,, shots coming, pit fall,, road blocks,
or even improvements.  Currently our organization is under going a
culture change, as we are seen through out health care and we are
being
asked (TOLD) to embrance theses concepts,, been through lean trainging
for the clinical lab, but really see histology as a different animal.
So wanting to get some adive on this portion of the lab.
