The exact definition of organizational culture is debated: Is it the patterns of behavior of employees? The language and jargon used? The types of communications, actions, beliefs, values, and traditions of the organization? Organizational culture is all of these things, as well as how these things interact and combine to determine the degree to which staff, customers, and stakeholders identify with the organization. In healthcare organizations, the patient population drives much of the organization’s culture and success. Understanding (ideally informed by data analytics) the culture is critical to understand when considering implementing a new change or process inside that organization. This module will describe the extent to which the organizational culture represents the foundation on which excellence customer service is built and can be improved upon. Additionally, you will begin to expand on your process improvement plan by identifying the the operational process that you would like to improve or redesign throughout this course.

In process improvement, the term "operational management" is used to describe the planning, design, implementation, and continuous monitoring of the provision of services. Operations managers in healthcare, like in every industry, have responsibilities in both strategy and day-to-day operations to ensure that the services provided are well managed so that the organization remains competitive. Processes must be well-designed, aligned, and optimized to better support the patient journey. In this module, you will review the early stages of process development while focusing on approaches to planning for process change. Next, you will engage in process mapping and identify the redundancies, workflows, handoffs, and subsystems involved in processes. You will create a model design, and plan out the initial deployments of improvements.

The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
