I was very impressed with the students. I came back to Travelers telling everyone about them!  Even at the initial readouts they were engaged, motivated, thoughtful, and it was great to see them developing their presentation skills. I wanted to spend more time with them. I had the pleasure of representing us at the Showcase because Mark had a commitment he couldn’t avoid – much to his chagrin.  I also got to see what the other Travelers teams did for their projects as well.  While ours was the most technical, the others were also very interesting, and I felt like I was learning something listening to them. They had obviously done their research and put together compelling presentations. This was a very pleasurable, even inspiring opportunity.

Many hospitals encounter the problem of wasting time to locate infusion pumps that are needed for patient care. The students used critical thinking to create two distinct solutions to improve the management of the infusion pumps being readily available for patient use. Their presentation was shared with hospital leaders and lean facilitators, and I am encouraged their work effort will contribute towards the deployment of a future solution to address this problem.
