Daily Management

Daily management (may also be referred to as "lean daily management") is a systematic approach that ensures accountability and continuous improvement for leaders and their teams through standardized practices that are incorporated into daily operations. Its purpose is to create capacity for leaders to actively engage with frontline workers and respond to events in real time. It ensures transparency and maintains readiness to proactively foster a culture of continuous learning.

Berkeley CLEAR (Centre for Lean Engagement & Research in Healthcare) defines "lean" as:

"An overall operating and management system that creates value by eliminating waste and solving problems through daily application of the scientific method. The end result is improved quality and lower cost for the patient (increased value), and improved work experience leading to provider well-being."
