NORCROSS, Ga. - AussieJournal -- While innovation in industries can lead to greater production and bottom lines, in healthcare it provides a more vital benefit: Better patient outcomes that save lives.

Those ideas will be on display at the Healthcare Systems Process Improvement Conference Feb. 9-11 at Embassy by Hilton in Orlando, Florida, sponsored by the Institute of Industrial & Systems Engineers and Society for Health Systems.

The three-day event includes practitioners from medical providers and researchers from academia presenting their many concepts for improving the processes that impact healthcare delivery.
