You need to change leadership behavior if you want to successfully implement continuous improvement. With transformative leadership, you can make every person in your organization a daily problem-solver, and this presentation will explain how to go about doing this. The ThedaCare Center has firsthand experience it gained from its own quality journey and will share the lessons it learned during this presentation. It will provide its collective insight on the best ways to unite employers, providers and payers to develop new models of care and payment that result in greater efficiency and expertise for healthcare providers and greater value for purchasers and patients. Much of what works in a healthcare setting can be applied to other companies and organizations, so these lessons are well worth learning.
