As a team, our instructors and mentors bring the experience of the Joint Commission Center for Transforming Healthcare’s innovative work with leading health care systems and hospitals, and provide training and mentoring on high reliability concepts and the pursuit of zero harm, including Robust Process Improvement® (RPI®) tools and methods. Our teams’ expertise comes from guiding health care providers exclusively in applying RPI principles to their own patient safety and quality processes, such as improving hand hygiene, reducing health care associated pressure injuries, sepsis mortality, billing errors and staff turnover.

A team of certified process improvement experts with experience applying Lean, Six Sigma, and change management skills specifically within health care settings will be guiding and mentoring the participants in this program.

“The course offered by The Center for Transforming Healthcare proved to be an excellent starting point for our senior leaders to learn how they can use tools and techniques in their daily work to build buy-in and engagement, overcome resistance, and sustain gains needed for successful change. Two days of participatory learning and training kept a diverse cross section of our leaders engaged and The Center facilitators for the training maximized the benefit for our leaders. Highly recommended.”

– J Michael Henderson, MB. ChB., Chief Medical Officer, University of Mississippi Medical Center

“This engagement has been a wonderful experience for our organization! Sessions were informative, engaging and all participants left inspired to take these tools back to their facilities and begin to incorporate these change methods into their daily practices to support highly reliable safe patient care. A real home run!” 

– Health System Chief Medical Officer
