From Data to Value!

Description

This course illustrates how labs can use data to demonstrate their value in the healthcare continuum and contribute to reducing the total cost of care. Data is the tool by which labs can move out from a volume based, stagnating business model to that of a thriving, value-based business model. Before the data can be shaped in to a story that tells a tale of value, the lab has to restructure and redesign its systems that enable the collection, extraction, aggregation and interpretation of data. This course takes a systematic approach to designing systems that create value and ignite growth, with the ultimate goal of transparently positioning the lab as a strategic partner in achieving lower costs, higher quality of care and better patient engagement and satisfaction

Who Should Take This Course?

This courses designed for managers, administrators, medical directors and technicians.

This online certificate program is designed to equip healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills required to serve as a Lean Practitioner across clinical and healthcare environments. Through interactive learning modules, real-world healthcare case studies, and hands-on assignments, participants will develop a strong foundation in Lean principles, methods, and tools inspired by the Toyota Production System—a globally recognized framework for improving efficiency, quality, and patient-centered care.

As a Lean Practitioner, you will collaborate closely with healthcare leaders, clinicians, and support teams to embed a culture of continuous improvement across the organization. Your work will ensure that processes are efficient, reliable, and centered on delivering high-quality patient care. You will:

• Establish and support Lean foundations across departments and service lines
• Train and mentor healthcare teams in Lean methodologies and daily improvement practices
• Facilitate Kaizen events and Gemba Walks to evaluate real-time care delivery and operational processes
• Apply root cause analysis to reduce variation, eliminate errors, and prevent recurrence
• Improve patient safety, care quality, and experience through standardized, reliable processes
• Ensure alignment with regulatory and accreditation standards such as CLIA, CAP, and FDA while optimizing system performance

This program prepares you to lead meaningful transformation in healthcare settings—enhancing efficiency, strengthening quality, and ultimately improving outcomes for patients and communities.

In this course, you will build the skills and techniques needed to help your healthcare organization systematically eliminate waste and maximize value across diagnostic and clinical operations. Through a structured, hands-on learning approach, you will gain practical, real-world experience applying Lean principles and methodologies to improve efficiency, quality, and patient care outcomes.

✔ 7 Course Modules – Covering essential Lean concepts and their application across healthcare and diagnostic workflows
✔ Instructional Video Presentations – Engaging, real-world content designed to reinforce learning and clinical relevance
✔ 7 Knowledge Checks – One per module to assess understanding and practical application
✔ 3 Reflection Activities – Encouraging critical thinking and deeper analysis within a healthcare context
✔ Capstone Project (7 Assignments) – Apply Lean principles to identify, analyze, and eliminate a recurring issue impacting workflow, quality, or patient care within your organization

The course project includes seven structured assignments, each designed to help you apply Lean tools and methodologies directly within your healthcare work environment. Through these hands-on activities, you will gain practical experience identifying inefficiencies, improving workflows, and implementing sustainable, patient-centered improvements.

Throughout the course, we will reference The New Lean Healthcare Pocket Guide XL to reinforce key concepts and support real-world application across hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare settings.

In addition, live virtual classrooms are available to help teams deepen their understanding and effectively translate learning into practice. These weekly, instructor-led sessions provide opportunities to:

✔ Ask questions and clarify course concepts in a healthcare context
✔ Share insights, challenges, and lessons learned with peers
✔ Collaborate on strategies for implementing Lean methodologies within your organization

For more information on virtual team sessions, including dates and times, please contact your instructor.

✔ Explain Lean principles, methodologies, and tools as they apply to clinical, administrative, and diagnostic healthcare workflows
✔ Apply Lean thinking to design a targeted improvement strategy within your healthcare or laboratory setting
✔ Plan and lead a 5S event, including preparation, implementation, and ongoing sustainment in a clinical environment
✔ Conduct a “Go and See” (Gemba) observation to uncover inefficiencies and identify opportunities for improving patient care and workflow
✔ Analyze waste and variation using a current-state value stream map to improve flow and reduce delays
✔ Apply the A3 problem-solving approach, understanding its structure and use in healthcare decision-making
✔ Plan and facilitate a Kaizen event, including defining objectives, engaging teams, and achieving measurable outcomes

This course equips you with practical Lean tools and techniques to drive continuous improvement, enhance efficiency, and improve patient outcomes across healthcare settings.
