The GBMP Lean in Healthcare Certificate Course
Hospitals are challenged continually to improve quality and reduce costs as they deliver improved care to patients. At the same time, complex processes and equipment and supply issues can frustrate the efficient delivery of care. This course teaches leaders, managers, and staff how to apply real process-improvement and problem-solving techniques in an actual hospital setting.
This comprehensive eight-day course provides participants with hands-on experience learning and applying both the technical science and social science of Lean. The technical science of Lean focuses on learning and applying Lean tools and techniques, while the social science aspect of it focuses on people and organizational development. Both are necessary for an effective Lean implementation.
“Lean thinking/training should be required of all senior leadership in the hospital setting. The ability to improve so many processes, once you understand them, is powerful.”
