Lean and the Toyota Production System
could not have arrived at a better time for most health care
provider organizations. While some may doubt the value of employing
automotive and manufacturing techniques in health care, visionary
organizations all over the U.S. are reaping the benefits of Lean
efforts with increased patient and physician satisfaction. Lean,
with its process focused tools and methods, is proving to be an
outstanding platform to drive towards new levels of patient safety.
These organizations are also simultaneously experiencing increased
revenue and rising employee morale.
Written by the former president of the Virginia Mason Medical Center, the book relies on the experience of an executive who has led his organization through a highly successful lean transformation. J. Michael Rona walks the reader through the steps needed to start the journey, as well as the challenges encountered along the way. Not only does Mr. Rona give firsthand knowledge of the importance of leadership, he also provides readers with the example of an organization that has arrived to the other side of transformation, to a place where safe and higher quality products and services are expected and achieved, where workers function at the height of their abilities and the cost side of the revenue equation dramatically drops.
