NORCROSS, Ga. – Jan. 30, 2023 – PRLog — Healthcare process innovation from patient check-in to checkout will be the focus at the Healthcare Systems Process Improvement Conference (HSPI), Feb. 15-17 at the Kentucky International Convention Center in Louisville, Kentucky.

Presented by the Society for Health Systems of the Institute of Industrial & Systems Engineers, the HSPI 2023 conference will include a new series of presentations known as “Intensives.” These sessions will offer deep dives on topical subjects from a handful of improvement experts.

“These are set to be engaging sessions. They’re not meant to be one-directional information sharing but more engagement, rolling up your sleeves and collaborating, having a discussion around a book club,” said HSPI Conference Committee Chair Ashley Benedict, Ph.D., UF Health, Saint Petersburg, Florida, in an episode of Problem Solved: The IISE Podcast.

The Intensives cover “Design Thinking in Healthcare,” “Health AI & Innovation,” “Path to Process Improvement,” “Resume Review,” “Using Two-Dimensional Gap-Analysis to Facilitate Effective, Efficient Initiatives,” and ponder “What is the Theory of Constraints and How Can It Be Used to Improve Patient Flow?”

Other program highlights include a facility tour at UPS Worldport and ample time to network – at a student reception, speed networking and welcome reception, a networking lunch and vendor reception, and breaks for exhibit hall gatherings each day. Keynote presentations feature Chief Medical Officer Jody Crane, M.D., of TeamHealth, Richmond, Virginia, Stacy Cassio, founder and CEO of the Pink Mentor Network, Charlotte, North Carolina, and a lunch panel with the Louisville Healthcare CEO Council.

“I can’t believe how much we’re jamming into three days,” Benedict said.
