What Is Lean?
Lean is a growing, universal approach to eliminating waste and improving performance across many industries. It challenges organizations to proactively illuminate problems (waste) and performance issues from the perspective of the customer, identify the underlying processes impacting performance, and commit to continually improving those processes. Lean’s core tenant of “Respect for People” implores organizations to ensure every employee contributes and commits to continuously improve the processes they work to deliver.
Denver Health was one of the first healthcare delivery organizations to successfully adopt Lean as an improvement methodology with quantified success. Through Denver Health's Lean Academy, Denver Health shares years of accumulated learning and invites novice to expert participants from any industry to continue their Lean journey and advance their knowledge and practice Lean methods.
