Revenue UP. Labor time DOWN. Expenses DOWN.

WOW! Talk about a personal and professional transformation!
It was a wonderful experience. I was immersed in QI at a level I have never before experienced. A year ago, I didn’t really understand QI—I was one of those staff who said yeah—I’m supportive improvements for quality—I think performance management is important—but I didn’t understand or even know about QI principles or tools. WOW! Talk about a personal and professional transformation! ~ Molly C.
