Lean Healthcare Certification Testimonials
"At first, I was reluctant to take an online course, so I asked a lot of questions. ALC's professional and timely responses gave me the feeling that I have a safety net, so I enrolled in the "Lean HealthCare Certification" course.
I love the course. I am pleased to see how meaningful all of the units are and how well they are laid out. I appreciate the many resources at my disposal as well as the flexibility related to time and projects. The mentors have been very helpful and extremely responsive.
As a result of this satisfaction, I have recommended this course to colleagues, who have also enrolled."

"I searched for suitable training in lean thinking for several months. I needed a program that provided adequate exposure to the theory and tools of lean management. The ability to engage in a sustained learning project was most important for me.
The Lean Healthcare Certification course handbook and materials provided links to other materials of value. The availability of mentoring via email provided the consultation to implement a lean project. We anticipate that the improvements we implemented using Lean Healthcare Services tools and mentoring will result in an improved efficiency of our local VA Mental Health Clinic by as much as 30%.
The Lean Healthcare Certification has provided me with the tools and experience to continue the pursuit of excellence. I have recommended this program to others interested in a practical, sustained and excellent exposure to lean healthcare management."

"I conducted a lot of research before embarking on the journey of becoming Lean Certified. The selection of offerings came down to a U.S. University and Lean Healthcare Services. The University offering was a certificate based program that focused on the concepts of Lean but only through a manufacturing perspective. I chose Lean Healthcare Services because they offered a certification in Lean and focused on Healthcare examples and perspectives. I also really liked the ability that it gave me to ask questions to the mentors, which I found are located all over the world. What a way to find out what others are doing, without taking one step away from your computer! I have completed all of the modules and through the experience have gathered ideas, forms, best practices, new friends and networking and even better...a sincere appreciation for what Lean can do for Healthcare."

"The content of the course is very well presented and is very relevant to my area of work. It enables me to focus on 'real' projects as it is health oriented, whereas up until now Lean was very much centered around manufacturing processes."
