About the Session
Many organizations seek to achieve systematic change through performance improvement methods such as Lean and Six Sigma. However, recent research has shown that implementing new high-performance management systems achieves greater success. Nevertheless, it can be difficult to translate the use of these new systems into tangible actions. During this seminar, MaineHealth System will share how its implementation of a standardized performance improvement management system called Operational Excellence has been consistently effective at all of its sites. Since implementing this system, MaineHealth has seen improvements in its front-line-driven quality initiatives and systematic financial initiatives. It has helped to remove longstanding barriers between front-line providers and leadership, enabling more rapid communication between these groups, and it has increased employee engagement, care pathways and service-line clinical transformation, and strategic system deployment
Learning Objectives:
- Gain an understanding of high-performance management systems and how they contrast with traditional performance improvement methods, such as Lean and Six Sigma.
- Explore how healthcare leaders have implemented and leveraged management systems to improve the quality, safety, delivery of care and operations within their organizations.
