LEAN MANAGEMENT

Clinical Leadership Course

Join Clinical Directors Network, the Harvard Medical School Center for Primary Care and the Virginia Mason Institute for a short course designed to cover some of the most challenging topics leaders face within their practices. The series will combine theory and concepts with practical application and examples. The series includes sessions in four distinct challenge areas: workforce, improvement/transformation, finance/operations and culture.


Lean can be powerful when implemented as a management method in a health care organization.

In this course, participants learn how to empower staff to be directly involved in generating and testing new ideas, implementing process improvements to achieve organizational goals, and improving quality and safety of patient care.

Implementing Lean Management in your organization can drive improvements that:

  1. Create value
  2. Eliminate waste
  3. Reduce your or your staff’s burden of work

This series will enable participants to apply lean tools and methods to processes in their organization in order to identify immediate opportunities to benefit from thinking and acting in a lean framework.

Through skills developed during this course, leaders can use a lean framework to promote better stewardship of resources and provide improved care, faster and more affordably, to patients.
