Welcome

Solving problems while caring for sick patients can be a challenge for individual areas, so that's where we come in! Our team of experienced process engineers are here to help optimize how a process, system, or organization operates by using Lean methodology, process mapping, and problem-solving coaching to help teams navigate the operational inefficiencies that cause them headaches. As engineers, we understand that there is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to healthcare. Using our knowledge of process improvement, we personalize solutions to specific needs within the hospital and clinics, as well as offer project support. Our team strives to not only help implement best practices across the Vanderbilt Enterprise, but to also empower employees to engage in the process while leaving them with the tools and knowledge to continue solving problems as they arise.
