Culture Assessment
Where do I start?
Gain a better understanding of your organization’s strengths, and of opportunities to accelerate change and achieve a patient-centered culture.
This assessment led by an experienced lean health care expert will provide valuable insights on your organization’s strengths and barriers, and provide recommendations for achieving a sustainable, patient-centered culture through the adoption of a lean management system.
This assessment will give you an understanding of:
- The strengths and gaps within your organization.
- Next steps to increase quality and safety, promote employee engagement and contribute to a healthy bottom line.
- The benefits of applying lean tools and methods.
Components:
During the assessment, a Virginia Mason Institute executive sensei will evaluate:
- Your organization’s current improvement methodology.
- Strategic alignment of your board of directors, executives, management and frontline staff with respect to your organization’s goals.
- Alignment of overall priorities in the adoption of a lean management system.
- Behaviors and policies that demonstrate implicit or explicit principles and expectations of leaders and staff that can accelerate or impede the adoption of a lean management system.
Our executive sensei will provide a Findings and Recommendations Report that will synthesize the results of your assessment and provide recommendations for accelerating change in your organization.
In addition, the executive sensei will hold a follow-up call to answer any questions and explore potential next steps.
