Green Belt Innovation Celebration at the Hahnemann Campus

UMass Memorial employees celebrated people and teams working toward True North at the Hahnemann campus. On 7/19/17 recent innovations, initiatives, projects, and ideas across the Medical Center were showcased. Featured among the Lean Green Belt projects was the “Transformation of the Eye Center” endeavor that was co-lead by Dr. Schaal and Ms. Darlene Bocash-Winn. 

The Transformation of the Eye Center included team members who are physicians, technicians, administrators and ASRs at the Eye Center at Hahnemann. Team members completed white belt and yellow belt training as a team, coached by Ms. Marissa O’Connor from CITC. The ideas and innovations that were implemented increased access to the Eye Center 3 fold since January 2017, and decreased patient wait time to less than 5 minutes.
