DGL Speaks at Healthcare Facilities Symposium & Expo
"Lean Principles as Design Guidelines"

October 2-4, 2007 / Navy Pier / Chicago, IL

Devenney Group recently completed a two-year commission with Sutter Healthcare in CA to design a prototypical hospital that optimizes utilizations by dissolving the service barriers between departmental "silos."

Working with surrogate user groups, an integration of process and product was achieved allowing both philosophical as well as physical separations to become porous, or removed.

Design tools included staff reductions, cross training, shared technologies, process mapping, present and future state analysis, and failure modes and effect analysis.

DGL SPEAKERS INCLUDE Lori Aune, Owner and Lead Sr. Project Manager, and Gary Goldberg, AIA, Principal
