I've participated in the last two Society for Health Systems conferences, as a presenter, and I'm looking forward to attending the 2011 event in Orlando, FL next February (17 to 20). It's an excellent event – both the content and the networking around healthcare quality improvement. Their logo looks like a hurricane – a hurricane of learning?
Anyhoo… I'm the chair for the Patient Flow track this year and I want your help in rounding up (or submitting) outstanding presentations. You might expect I'd head the Lean & Six Sigma track, but they already had a volunteer. While the Patient Flow track isn't exclusively about Lean, there are opportunities for presentations about Lean and other methods for improving Patient Flow.
To learn more, visit the SHS website, which has info about the conference and about how to submit an abstract – the deadline is coming soon — AUGUST 7.

Let’s work together to build a culture of continuous improvement and psychological safety. If you're a leader looking to create lasting change—not just projects—I help organizations:
- Engage people at all levels in sustainable improvement
- Shift from fear of mistakes to learning from them
- Apply Lean thinking in practical, people-centered ways
Interested in coaching or a keynote talk? Let’s start a conversation.
Deadline has been moved to August 11, FYI.
