Description
Please note: this course is a sample course created for demonstration purposes only and is not open for registration or enrollment.
The Lean Healthcare White Belt is the starting point for healthcare professionals who want to understand what Lean is, why it matters in a care environment, and how they can contribute to the improvement work taking place in their organization. Created by healthcare experts specifically for the health sector, the program is open to every role, whether clinical, administrative, or support, which makes it an ideal first step for anyone new to Lean.
Through an interactive online format, participants are introduced to the core principles of Lean thinking and to the benefits organizations achieve when they follow Lean best practice. Participants leave with a solid grounding in Lean thinking, the ability to identify waste in their own work processes, and the confidence to take an active part when their organization runs a Lean improvement event. Just as importantly, they gain a clear appreciation of what Lean means for their organization and for the patients it serves.
