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 fire-fighting 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 that isn't consultant-driven. The Lean implementation model focuses on strategically directed action, developing a lean organizational culture, and enhancing the care delivery system.
