Recenzii
The case studies included here show how Lean thinking is being applied to preadmission testing areas, supply rooms, and outpatient clinics, as well as for delivering food to patients and reducing OR eliminating cancellations. Each case study is organized in an easy-to-follow SBAR format (ie, situation, background, assessment, recommendation), which is commonly used in health care communication. Illustrations, architectural schematics, photographs, tables, and worksheets that were used throughout each institution's Lean project are included. Each case study concludes with a helpful section on results and lessons learned from the facility's Lean thinking implementation. ... This book serves as an introduction to how Lean can be applied in health care, and it emphasizes that Lean principles can be tailored to meet the needs of corporate, manufacturing, service, food, and health care industries. … a good resource for those looking to improve patient-centered care.

Many healthcare professionals are frustrated by the disappointing quality and the waste in our healthcare systems. Patients pay for this directly or through taxation and a worrying number with their lives. This book binds together the philosophy that revolutionized the safety and quality of the motor industry with practical examples from the pioneers in healthcare. Through examples big and small, they share their learning of the problem-solving techniques and, more importantly, the fundamental change in their beliefs and behaviors that brought about change for the benefit of colleagues and patients. This is a book for those keen to join in and learn for themselves from those who are learning too. Welcome!
