Lean & Agile for Healthcare
Overview

Although the healthcare industry has been slower than many of its counterparts to embrace agility, payors and providers are particularly well suited to benefit from it. An examination of how companies in other industries have transformed their operations demonstrates the far-reaching advantages.

 

Healthcare organizations can begin unlocking this potential by assessing their current degree of agility and then creating a road map to integrate agility throughout their enterprise. By building the capacity to respond to change more effectively, both payors and providers will be better positioned to survive in the years ahead.

Content

In hospital management, we find an increasing pressure to achieve both more efficiency and higher levels of flexibility and readiness for an effective patient response system. Hence, managers  of healthcare units need new service management strategies that respond effectively to changes and the negative effects of variability in health care demand while keeping costs under control.

 

Several industrial and service sectors have find ways to address these challenges. On one hand, manufacturing industries like automotive and aeronautics have adopted Lean Management as a management philosophy for achieving extreme levels of efficiency and reduction of costs. On the other hand, service sectors are increasingly adopting Agile Management for innovation and response to fast changes.

 

This course will present an original Framework of Lean & Agile Management that enable the development of capacity building for managers of healthcare units to be able to transform healthcare organi­zations to be efficient and simultaneously truly agile in this turbulent, changing and challenging times.
