Better Together: Lean Tools for Building Unified Teams at Beth Israel Lahey

Better Together: Lean Tools for Building Unified Teams at Beth Israel Lahey Health

Beth Israel Lahey Health came together as a unified system in 2019, providing care to patients along the continuum, across a network of academic medical centers, community hospitals and ambulatory practices and disciplines. Discover how Lean methodologies are fueling transformation across their organization.

This in-person networking event celebrates the power of collaboration and continuous improvement. Teams from across BILH will showcase their journey of merging from many separate groups into one cohesive system of care, using Lean tools to align workflows, reduce waste, and build stronger connections across departments. Together, we’ll explore how Lean can create a culture where every voice contributes to our shared success.

Come to hear real-world stories of how different groups have merged into a unified organization through problem-solving, collaboration, and process improvement. Leave inspired with practical ideas you can take back to your own team.
