Greetings!

Start at the Top!

On August 28th we will be sharing our ideas on “Offsetting Price Increases in Tough Times” at our monthly webinar. This webinar is designed to be a primer to get you into high gear to counterbalance your rising product cost by employing other saving strategies. However, it won’t be the answer to ALL of your change initiatives because all sustainable change needs to start at the top of your healthcare organization.   

Whether you’re using lean, Six Sigma or value analysis to initiate change at your hospital, system or IDN, starting at the top is critical. By this I mean, if you don’t have your C-suite’s uncompromising and unqualified support for what you are trying to accomplish, you will quickly hit a brick wall that you won’t be able to jump over, craw under or circumnavigate. 

The easiest way to do so is to establish an executive council to lead your lean, Six Sigma or value analysis initiative with a C-suite member chairing this committee. It would be this council’s charge to guide, monitor, direct and arbitrate disputes on you way to your ultimate success.

If you are unable to gain a commitment for such a council from your C-suite you are then, I’m sorry to say, left to your own devices to keep your initiative afloat in stormy waters. But don’t let this discourage you since “things change and people change” thereby giving you another opportunity to start at the top when the climate is just right for change.
