Episode 56: Leading Through Healthcare Disruption

Health care organizations are entering a period of significant disruption following the passage of H.R. 1, with deep Medicaid cuts, tighter eligibility requirements, and growing administrative complexity reshaping the care landscape—especially for safety-net providers. This moment raises a critical leadership challenge: how to continue delivering high-quality, safe, and accessible care while doing more with fewer resources.

This webinar explores why Lean thinking is no longer optional, but essential, in navigating today’s turbulence and building long-term resilience. Drawing on lessons from past disruptions and real-world examples from leading health systems, we will examine how principle-based Lean frameworks help organizations improve cost, quality, access, and patient experience—even under intense pressure.

Participants will learn how forward-thinking health care leaders use Lean to strengthen culture and engagement, align strategy with daily operations, redesign care delivery to improve access, reduce administrative burden, and thoughtfully integrate technology and AI. The session emphasizes Lean not as a set of tools, but as a leadership mindset that enables clarity, adaptability, and sustained performance in uncertain times.
