Typically entrenched and systemic healthcare problems require the sort of comprehensive solutions that can only be addressed by a change in culture and a shift in thinking. Organizations around the world are using Lean to redesign care and improve processes in a way that achieves and sustains meaningful results for patients staff physicians and health systems. This book demonstrates how honest appraisal intelligent planning and vigilant follow-up have led to dramatic improvements in a variety of healthcare settings across the world. It teaches us how innovative organizations can find sustainable solutions to seemingly intractable problems by following a path guided by Lean Thinking. Lean methods may not solve every healthcare problem but as these cases prove changing a culture rather than personnel results in more effective sustainable change. This multi-authored book provides expert descriptions of Lean methods and their application in healthcare written by the people who developed and tested the methods in healthcare settings. Each chapter brings together a description of the technique or approach with examples of application in practice from the author’s own practice. Authors use an engaging approach to their narrative with examples from their personal experience or engagement being described to illustrate the practical application of theoretic approaches. In painting a picture of the environment in which these tools and techniques have been applied readers will understand the transferability to their own workplace environment. This will be an opportunity to tell real stories of the application of Lean in healthcare and give readers the opportunity to learn from people from across the world on subjects on which they are acknowledged topic experts based on day-to-day Lean practice. | International Examples of Lean in Healthcare Case Studies of Best Practices
