Abstract:
Although several methods have been proposed to help reduce inefficiencies in healthcare, these may be inaccessible or impractical for leaders to implement given their complexity. Leader Standard Work (LSW) has been successfully utilized in other industries to help improve the efficiencies of leaders by providing individual, manageable concepts that leaders can rapidly implement to effect change. This column provides a brief overview of LSW and how it may be used to leadership effectiveness and, ultimately, healthcare.
