Keys for designing and implementing lean principles in hospitals and health systems
Deepen your knowledge of lean management and improvement principles applied in a variety of healthcare environments; learn about needed strategy/execution, training and operational excellence practices; hear about effective care models; case studies reflecting framework, infrastructure and critical factors in lean deployment.
Review effective strategies and a mobilization model for designing and implementing a lean management/lean improvement system in hospitals and healthcare organizations. Hear case studies from various healthcare environments—strategy deployment, patient flow and other examples. Learn about the framework, infrastructure and critical factors that enhance lean deployment to support multi-facility and multi-service line care models. Deploy lean management/improvement through strategy, execution, training, operational excellence practices, process improvement and people development. View lean as a component within a broader management system—a key to developing capabilities such as A3 thinking, managing for daily improvement (MDL), dashboards and gemba walks. Spark timely, actionable leadership and response results. Meet unique challenges in healthcare, applying lean principles across the continuum of care. Drive performance improvements such as access, quality outcomes, cost, growth, length of stay and patient/staff/physician satisfaction. Gain suggestions for creating a learning organization. Participate in classroom, small group and large group exercises and simulations, deepening your understanding of crucial improvement and performance management elements in a lean clinical setting. Hear about 5S and leader standard work.
