Thanks for your interest in a class that Joe Swartz and Mark Graban would teach about "Healthcare Kaizen" (continuous improvement) at Franciscan St. Francis Health in Indianapolis. Your feedback and answers will help us create an effective workshop that adds value to you, giving practical ideas and methods, along with some inspiration, that you can take back to your organization. If you have any other questions, you can contact us via our website.

We're hoping you'd be willing to come to Indianapolis to see that a culture of continuous improvement looks and feels like.

We'd like to take advantage of being on site there to keep lecture time to a minimum. That might mean reading one of our books in advance or doing some online learning that we'd set up.

I think being on site at St. Francis allows us to:

- Have discussions about your challenges and your plans for creating a Kaizen culture
- Visit departments to see and talk to people in small groups
- Run a simulation exercise that allows us to practice Kaizen
- Hear talks from Franciscan leaders at many levels... coming to them to hear their wisdom and experiences.
