What would your healthcare organization look like if medical errors were reduced by 90%, turnaround times for laboratory results increased by 75%, or if patient wait times for surgical procedures were shortened from months to days? How would your work culture change if the average length of patient stay decreased by 60%, or if hospital readmission rates declined by 40%? Throughout the 100% online Lean Six Sigma Green Belt for Healthcare Certificate through Emory Continuing Education (ECE), you'll watch engaging video lectures and complete assignments designed to help you make your operations safer, more reliable, more efficient and less error prone.
