About Denver Health’s Lean Academy

The Denver Health Lean Academy was one of the first healthcare delivery organizations to successfully adopt Lean as an improvement methodology with quantified success. And now, in collaboration with Healthcare Performance Partners, we want to kick start your organization’s Lean journey by teaching the value of the Lean methodology and practices in the healthcare setting; and by providing hands-on experience.

Lean training is ideal for leaders in hospital administration, nursing, quality improvement, EMS, supply chain and government employees. There is great potential for hospitals and healthcare systems across the nation to improve patient care and reduce inefficiency by utilizing this system for operational excellence. Together we can change the healthcare industry, making it safer and more efficient for patients.

Our Lean workshops reflect Denver Health’s progress on its never-ending Lean journey and will help you understand the systems within and the successes achieved by Denver Health. We currently offer several Lean workshops – from beginner to advanced – and invite you to sign up for the Lean Healthcare Exchange and Healthcare Performance Partners newsletter to stay up-to-date on new workshop offerings!

Mike began his improvement journey in the late 1990’s using Kanban cards and production boards to reduce waste in the restaurant industry. In 2005 he joined Caterpillar, Inc. where he learned how to integrate process improvement with Six Sigma to increase heavy equipment sales in two Colorado territories. With a passion for education, Mike later began teaching folks how to use these simple principles themselves--first in the private sector (2009), and then later in the public sector (2012). Mike is the Senior Manager of Continuous Improvement at Denver International Airport and he previously served as the executive director for the Colorado Lean Network from 2017 - 2020. Mike loves learning about what drives people to improve processes while teaching them how to think differently. When he is not facilitating process improvements, Mike enjoys hiking, snowshoeing, biking and traveling with his wonderful wife, Melissa.
