This program is geared toward hospitals with a strong track record of improvement and demonstrated quality outcomes – and their leaders who are responsible for improving the bottom line and improving quality in departments, divisions, or the hospital as a whole. With specific programming tailored to CEOs, CFOs, COOs, CNOs, and clinical leaders, participants will identify opportunities to drive out waste, prioritize what changes are best suited for their organization, and successfully lead front-line improvement efforts that improve the organization’s financial standing.

After one year in the program, teams told us that they learned how to:

• Undertake a new, multidisciplinary approach to waste identification
• Better manage organizational energy
• Improve patient care by placing a greater emphasis on discharge instructions, medication reconciliation, and prevention of readmissions
