Webinar: “Planning and Executing Effective Kaizen Events”
Wednesday, June 19 and Wednesday, July 12, 2013, noon Eastern
The term Kaizen literally translates to “continuous improvement.” That said, it’s always a good time to consider a Kaizen event in your efforts to improve. Kaizen events have been run successfully within Lean and Six Sigma projects, or as part of a standalone effort. Participants in Kaizen events express great satisfaction from their involvement, and confidence in the results they achieve. Tiffany Davis, a veteran of performance improvement and Creative Healthcare Consultant associate for the past 10 years will take you on a journey of how to plan for and execute effective Kaizen events, with case study examples. Participants learn how to begin the process of planning Kaizen events on their own.

Webinar: “The ISO Revolution is Here”
Wednesday, August 7, 2013, noon Eastern
What is ISO 9001? How is it impacting healthcare delivery? Why should I care? ISO 9001 is a quality management system that originated to help promote international standards of trade and manufacturing. But, like many approaches that originated in manufacturing, ISO is being adopted by healthcare organizations at a rapid rate because of support from both CMS and accrediting agencies. Learn what ISO is all about, how it can help healthcare organizations to build an infrastructure for quality management, how it ties to strategic planning cycles, and what are practical considerations for your organization to begin adoption.

Webinar: “The Missing Link in Improvement Capability”
Wednesday, September 4, 2013, noon Eastern
Performance improvement failures can often be tied to staff skepticism, resistance to change or apathy. Indeed, getting the “right people on the bus” is a key success criteria for any performance improvement initiative. New evidence that it is possible to determine empirically which individuals are best suited to support and work on performance improvement initiatives was published by CHC in a landmark article “The Missing Link in Improvement Capability,” appearing in Becker’s Hospital Review in February 2013. Hear from the co-authors of that article how the methods came together to enable leaders to determine how their staff will respond to change management initiatives, how to prepare for any resistance, and how to navigate successfully forward.
