Breakout Session Abstract Guidelines for 2022 European Lean Healthcare Transformation Summit

Background and Guidelines:

Summit breakout sessions (“workshops”) are 75-minute interactive sessions within the Summit. Each workshop will be offered twice the same day, and the same presenter(s) are expected to present twice. Attendance in a breakout session can vary from 25-75, depending on the popularity of the topic.

The theme for this year’s Summit is Think Systemically, Act with Purpose. All sessions should align with this theme. We look for workshop topics that are forward-thinking, that are current and relevant to a lean transformation, and that participants can relate to, learn from, be inspired by, and receive enough information to take back to their organization to try an experiment. Each workshop must have an interactive component. This could be an exercise, small group discussion, or other facilitated method.

We strive to assemble a mixture of sessions geared towards advanced practitioners, beginners, clinicians, leaders, continuous improvement professionals, etc.

There are 8 breakout session spots in total. Submissions should be in English. Incomplete submissions may not be considered. We approve on a rolling process; once submitted, you will receive a response within 60 days. 

For accepted workshops, we will cover Summit registration for up to two (2) presenters. Any additional presenters beyond the first two (2) will be responsible for their own registration fee. Presenter(s) are responsible for their own travel and accommodation expenses. 

All presenters are expected to fully participate through the duration of the Summit October 6-7, 2022.
