Today, approximately one in four health care dollars—or about $1 trillion a year—is wasted on operational and clinical inefficiency, burnout, and other non-value-added processes. More importantly, medical errors are cited as the third leading cause of death in the United States. As health care strives to become a highly reliable industry, lean is the gateway to achieving results.

Join us for an on-demand webcast that provides an overview of how lean fundamentals are transforming health care to eliminate waste in the system. The results are dramatic: improved quality and safety, performance and engagement by both patients and providers, and a better overall patient experience. We’ll cover:

  • Lean strategies to build a culture of continuous improvement that puts quality and patient safety first
  • Steps to align executive leadership through strategy deployment, with frontline staff practicing daily management
  • Ways lean can help determine how to enhance processes to achieve higher quality, shorter waits, lower costs, increased efficiency, and more
