Activity Summary

Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes

You’ve just bought a new device for your organization and the changes impact everyone. Change can invite chaos and perfection paralysis; somewhere in the middle there is a solution. Join us for this engaging and interactive foundational session preparing the learner for success in project implementation. Follow a real-life exemplar, providing specific exercises and tools using a process-improvement framework.

Objectives

  • Determine common barriers and solutions to healthcare-associated projects, including known and unknown variables contributing to failed implementation.
  • Identify the phases of project implementation using a formalized model (Lean Six Sigma Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control).
  • Examine exemplars of successful project implementations, including tools and strategies to utilize in a resource-limited facility.
