Your healthcare organization cannot afford to waste time, money, or resources on an improper Lean implementation. You want to create a culture of continuous improvement, not a regime of tools that address problem areas but have short-lived results.

Lean Done Right: Achieve and Maintain Reform in Your Healthcare Organization provides a roadmap for launching a transformative and sustainable Lean initiative. The Lean implementation model focuses on strategically directed action, developing a lean organizational culture, and enhancing the care delivery system.

Chapters include:
  • Death by Kaizen Event
  • A Lean Implementation Model
  • Strategically Directed Action
  • The Culture-Creating Path
  • Implement the Value Stream Work Plan
  • The System-Creating Path

Instructor Resources: PowerPoint slides of the exhibits from selected chapters.
