Let’s Get to YES!

The BioMed Service Improvement Task Force has transitioned to a division-wide process improvement group that will continue its mission to reduce administrative burden and improve BioMed organizational efficiency.

Is there a process that you think needs improvement? Think BIG! needs your ideas and feedback; we are counting on you to identify opportunities for positive change! Feel free to contact a group member or submit ideas and suggestions to [email protected]. Please be sure to include specific examples and, if possible, accompany feedback with solutions. Let’s Get to YES!

We value your feedback; however, we may not be able to implement all suggestions due to the availability of resources and other limitations. Below is a list of suggestions we are currently working on. For these suggestions, subcommittees have been formed to discuss, review, and help establish procedures and guidance.

If you are interested in serving on Think BIG please complete an application and email to [email protected].
