Last week, I attended the #SHS2015 conference (Healthcare Systems Process Improvement Conference). It was great, just as I expected. This event continues to improve year after year. This was my first year twitting at the event. I managed to amass a decent collection of tweets and retweets and I want to share those with my readers, as well as have a good reference for me for the future.
Don’t forget to follow me on Twitter to get updates on all news and content about healthcare improvement through the use of Business Improvement methodologies such as Lean and Six Sigma.
Here are the tweets in chronological order.
On my way to #SHS2015 and excited about all the learning and networking opportunities!
