Podcasts: Lean Healthcare Leadership, Safety, and Continuous Improvement

These podcast episodes focus on Lean thinking as it applies to healthcare leadership, patient safety, quality, and culture. Conversations with physicians, executives, researchers, and improvement leaders explore how systems design, psychological safety, and daily leadership behaviors shape outcomes for patients and staff.

Rather than promoting tools or slogans, this archive highlights real-world experiences from hospitals, health systems, and healthcare innovators working to build safer, more reliable, and more humane systems of care.
