DVD Cover
The ThedaCare Center for Healthcare Value has released its first DVD, a 44-minute video that highlights strategy deployment as a core part of the lean management system at ThedaCare.
The video takes you to multiple locations at ThedaCare and Appleton Medical Center, including the senior leadership "visual room" and two inpatient units. Leaders including former CEO John Toussaint MD, current CEO Dean Gruner MD, and COO Matt Furlan describe how strategy deployment helps align the entire organization and their improvement efforts around their "true north" objectives for measurably better care. You will also see front-line managers describe how they drive daily continuous improvement in alignment with ThedaCare's mission, vision, and strategy.
