Hospital executives, physicians and managers from NYCOMEC member institutions engaged in an interactive presentation on
Performance Improvement Using Lean Methodology, given by

In his presentation, Dr. Yoo used several hospital-based scenarios to demonstrate how GME leaders can implement Six Sigma processes to help increase efficiency and improve outcomes.
