Lean Healthcare…Excellent Guide for Lean Tools,
I had recently purchased this publisher’s Lean Office Pocket Guide and was hoping this book on healthcare would not be a repeat. It was not! I was thoroughly impressed with the two authors who contributed to the explanation of each Lean tool as related to the healthcare environment. The book included healthcare examples for nearly every tool, along with case studies of how the tools were applied in hospitals and clinics. A commendable job for creating a tool that will assist the healthcare environment in their Lean or Six Sigma journey.

|Do you have questions as to how LEAN concepts apply to healthcare? This book is your answer,
This book is a great resource for all levels of your healthcare organization. It provides an introduction to LEAN concepts in healthcare and includes a glossary of defintions and descriptions of many LEAN tools and their application to different hospital settings. There are various case studies throughout the book that model these tools that can be easily translated into any healthcare organization. Most importantly to me, there are wonderful examples of Value Stream Mapping, a concept that is critical to deploying Lean in your organization effectively. I have provided copies of this book for all Hospital Leadership participating in my project work, it is that good.
