Coming Events - Vermont Lean Healthcare

On May 11, nationally acclaimed author Naida Grunden will be the guest speaker at the "Vermont Lean Healthcare Forum" events being hosted at Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington from 9-10:30 a.m. and at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont from 1:30-2:45 p.m.

Grunden's book, The Pittsburgh Way to Efficient Healthcare, describes the work of the Pittsburgh Regional Health Initiative, a small nonprofit organization established by medical, business, and civic leaders to address health care safety and quality issues in southwestern Pennsylvania.

In 2001, PRHI began to pilot the use of Toyota-based principles (Lean) in health care. These are the same principles VMEC has been applying in manufacturing across Vermont for the past 13 years.

Job Instruction

“A new concept in the field of industrial training was definitely emerging on a national scale – a concept of training destined to influence the thinking of people in every industry."


Excerpt from, The ‘First Million’ brochure, where the TWI Service made history in receiving the first Industry Award decorating a government agency.

February, 1944

Job Relations

“’Leadership’” has been the subject of an extraordinary amount of dogmatically stated nonsense. Some, it is true, has been communicated by observers who have had no experience themselves in directing the activities of others; but much of it has come from men of ample experience, often of established reputations as leaders.”

The Nature of Leadership,
Chester Barnard, 1940
