Internal improvement teams often lack the experience and skills to effectively help healthcare leaders. While these individuals may have deep experience from other industries, or are former clinicians with a passion for quality improvement, they may not have developed the coaching capabilities to translate organizational excellence principles to the healthcare leaders they support in a way that drives sustainable results and behaviors. 

We can help develop your improvement professionals in organizational excellence principles, systems, and tools through a variety of didactic and experiential learning activities, equipping them with the knowledge and capability to coach healthcare leaders on their improvement journey and achieve the results they need.            

Value Capture has nearly 20 years of experience developing improvement teams at dozens of organizations, including Duke Health, Legacy Health, Children’s MN, UC Davis Health, Maricopa County Department of Public Health, and many more.
