The Altru Way:
How does an organization achieve world-class care? At Altru, we adopted
a model that encompasses three core elements to help us achieve this vision:
evidenced-based leadership, lean management and high reliability. We call
this The Altru Way.
Evidenced-based leadership includes implementing best practices for leading
a complex health system and focuses specifically on alignment, action
and accountability for everyone on the team.
Lean management involves applying the scientific method to improve processes
in everyday work. We involve those closest to the work to trial improvement
ideas. The goal of lean is to reduce waste and increase value for patients
and their family members.
High reliability means we implement the most reliable processes to achieve
the highest standards, gather feedback on how we doing, and continually
learning from results so that we prevent errors in the future.
These three elements work together: leaders align and support continuous
improvement to realize greater reliability and better outcomes. Our physicians
are critical to leading, applying the improvement methods, and learning
with the teams.
Our tight-knit community is the #1 reason
U.S. News ranks North Dakota as the state offering the best quality of life.
With one of the best commute times in the U.S., our “rush hour”
is measured in minutes – not hours.
Our public and private educational systems are some of the best in the
country. Whether you’re 5 or 55, we provide outstanding educational
opportunities for students of all ages and needs.
With a consistently low unemployment rate (<3%), Grand Forks is a hub
for engineering, aerospace, energy, agriculture and healthcare.
Whether you call it a big small town or small big town, Grand Forks has
at least one of everything – including all four seasons.
