New Workshop: Setting Up a "No Wait" Emergency Dept. (ED) Using Basic OR/MS Principles
Saturday, November 12, 9am-5pm
The goal of the workshop is to enable ED Medical Directors or ED Nursing Supervisors to move to improve the flow of patients into and through his/her ED following the basic OR-MS principles taught in the workshop. The OR analyst will be able to communicate these principles clearly and effectively to other ED Medical Directors or ED Nursing Supervisors, in their terms, and enable them to implement the No-Wait ED concept. For OR analysts, therefore, this course will be a "train the trainers" preparation for effective consulting, providing solutions in this subject. Workshop presenters are Dave Eitel, M.D., M.B.A., and Doug Samuelson, D.Sc. Workshop fee: $295.00 - Sign up when you register for the meeting. If you have already registered, call 800-446-3676 or 443-757-3500, ext. 591 to add this workshop. Click here for more details.
