Now more than ever, medical practice leaders are struggling to lead effective strategies and achieve positive outcomes with lower reimbursements, staff shortages, technology changes, staff burnout and regulatory burden. In this session, the speakers, medical practice leaders who represent two of US News & World Report's Top 10 Health Systems, will discuss the difference between just leading projects and leading Lean operations, and how to seize on meaningful opportunities to personally adapt to a leaner mode of operating. They will share how to identify cause and effect relationships, align behaviors with performance, focus on value streams, advocate for direct observation, stabilize and standardize processes, integrate work improvement and rely on data and facts. Through round table discussion, attendees will discuss how Lean thinking can be leveraged to help leaders be more effective, and the examples of waste that exist in their daily work. Attendees will learn seven ways to drive out waste, including re-work, prioritizing, and talent management. These strategies will help enhance wellbeing for leaders trying to address common healthcare system challenges.
Learning Objectives:
Discover effective leadership strategies for decreasing waste and inefficient use of resources
Employ effective cost management strategies that can lead to reducing burnout and improving wellbeing and professional fulfilment
Use human capital management strategies aligned effectively with organizational goals
