We appreciate your communication, interest and involvement. As you may now know, we have Rapid Improvement Events (RIEs) on the third week of each month. The team conducting the RIE is usually composed of nine people ... three who work in the department, three who work 'up-stream' or 'down-stream' from the work, and three who can be 'fresh eyes.' The improvement effort is based on the Toyota Production Model and is modified for health care and patient care. It is exciting work for all of us. Rob Colones Dear Mr. Grabon,
