This one-day program is designed for participants who already understand the practical insights into tracer methodology—what it is, how it is used, and how it dramatically improves the way an organization assesses its systems and processes for continuous improvement—but seek an advanced, interactive workshop that integrates case studies, program specific tracers, aggregate data exercises, and more into the robust workouts.  The workshop also includes the latest information on tracers, along with recommended tips and strategies that can be implemented after leaving the program.
