Annual Forum of the ValuMetrix Association of Process Excellence
The ValuMetrix Association of Process Excellence (VAPEx) is an international peer group of healthcare professionals who manage process improvement initiatives. The Annual VAPEx Forum brings together executives, Lean teams and industry experts to network and share best practices.
Services & Offerings
Healthcare organizations face mounting pressures to do more work, at higher quality, with fewer people. ValuMetrix Services helps you address this need with process improvement based on the principles of Process Excellence.
Assessment
A typical first step is to conduct an on-site assessment of your operation. A ValuMetrix consultant comes on site to gather data, interview your staff and videotape each step of your workflow. The resulting report recommends concrete changes that will generate rapid and measurable improvement.
Consulting Services
ValuMetrix Services offers consulting in three fundamental areas of Process Excellence. We provide the training and mentoring your team needs to successfully complete a project. Your people then have the tools and skills to conduct subsequent projects on their own (with supplemental support, as necessary, from our consultants).
Lean – eliminating waste to speed your work flow and deliver better value.
Six Sigma – measuring and reducing your error and defect rates.
Design Excellence – incorporating best practices when designing a new space or process to ensure that work flows efficiently, with minimal opportunities for waste or error.
