Healthcare Kaizen: Continuous Improvement for Everyone

This material will be presented as a combination of:

Join speaker, author, and consultant Mark Graban for an introductory online class to learn and practice methods from his book, Healthcare Kaizen: Engaging Front-Line Staff in Sustainable Continuous Improvements.

You might have heard about other healthcare organizations that are using “Lean” improvement practices. In particular, many health systems are using “Rapid Improvement Events” (aka “Rapid Process Improvement Workshops”) as a way of driving change. However, a growing number of organizations are also embracing “daily Kaizen” — or a process to facilitate small, meaningful changes as an ongoing continuous improvement methodology. If your organization has not yet started “going Lean,” then daily Kaizen is a great way to get started before making the leap into larger events. 

This class will give you the introduction you need to confidently get started with this methodology. You'll get tips and lessons learned from organizations that have successfully created a culture of continuous improvement.

Taught by Mark Graban, co-author of "Healthcare Kaizen" and author of "Lean Hospitals"
