LEI and the Center are excited to announce the formation of this network of high performing organizations from around North America committed to the delivery of better value to their customers.
These 16 organizations have agreed to form a deep dive learning network to accelerate their journey of continuous improvement using Lean. They have committed to delivering a higher quality lower cost experience for their patients and plan to accelerate their learning by leveraging each other's knowledge.
The group was kept relatively small because we believe deep learning occurs more effectively when smaller groups get together regularly, build relationships with each other, a nd are able to experiment with the concepts they learn from each.
However, this is not an exclusive list. The Center /LEI partnership would like to facilitate as many of these learning networks as possible. By going to www.healthcarevalueleaders.org you can sign up by clicking on "leaders network" to be contacted about joining a network like this. Through these learning activities our goal is to transform healthcare.
The current organizations in the network are:
