Hi everyone. Do you have a state law that requires government agencies (state or municipal) to conduct Lean reviews to improve efficiencies? If so, can you please contact me and/or send me links to such laws?
If your state has issued a bill (whether it has successful or not) please also respond and if possible, send me the text so I can share with others here. My state has a proposed bill and I'd like to know if others have similar statutes.
My email is magali.angeloni@health.ri.gov. Thanks!
Hi Magali,
Hi Magali,
Here in Washington State, we have executive order 13-04 rather than legislation. It really covers continuous improvement and the whole landscape of performance management, rather than only Lean. You can find it at governor.wa.gov/sites/default/files/exe_order/eo_13-04.pdf
In practice, our Governor's office collects stories about Lean improvement projects twice a year, along with the numbers of staff who've received training in Lean topics. So we track and report both training and Lean/QI projects in our state health department. You can find resources about this at results.wa.gov/resources/learn-about-lean/lean-washington and results.wa.gov/resources/what-we-do/apply-lean
Please feel free to contact me with questions!

Greetings,
Greetings,
I encourage you to check out the Network for Public Health Law.
Under the "Topics & Resources" tab you can search for resources available through the Network. One topic area, "Public health agency structure, organization & accreditation", may have some information that is helpful to you. In addition to the available tools & resources, you can also inquire about legal technical assistance or ask a question about topics related to public health law.
