Our team lives lean - The what and the how
Overview
A team of 11 CI professionals influencing 35,000 staff across OhioHealth – there is only one way this can be effective … The right‘ stuff’ flowing as smoothly as possible based on pull from 1,500 leaders, then onward and outward from them. What’s expected of these leaders?
‘Standards’ and ‘standardization’ are frequently used terms, tended to be said quickly, often overlooked and not deeply understood. What’s the link to ‘organizational clarity’? What’s the benefits of establishing standards and clarity? What’s the risks when not considered deeply enough?
Emily Swaney and Todd Schneider (OhioHealth) noted those points above during their presentation at the AME conference. But, due to time constraints, the points weren’t explored deeply, and we had to cut off question time!
Please join this conversation Todd will have with Oscar Roche. Todd will dig deeper into these vitally important topics and answer your questions.
