The Toyota Way to Healthcare Excellence: Increase Efficiency and Improve Quality with LeanBy Donald Bryant
The book is great for leaders who are new to the concepts of Lean as a tool to greatly improve the delivery of healthcare. Gives a good overview of what Lean is about.
I do disagree with Mr. Black about the need for having a mentor or sensei who has 20 years of experience and has been through training with Toyota Lean masters. It is ridiculous to think that such a large body of trained experts exist to help the population of healthcare providers. Plus, his assertion that a company needs only this approach and none others, such as TQM or Six Sigma, is debatable. After all, the American Society of Quality endorses a Lean Six Sigma approach. I am sure that Toyota uses other techniques too, such as DOE and Taguchii methods to overcome special problems in manufacturing.
Healthcare today must be transformed! Politicians will not solve this problem that faces America. Healthcare professionals including administrators and providers must take the lead and make healthcare affordable. Mr Black has given America the answer. Imagine if all of America could see 50% improvement in number of patients seen with ZERO defects at the same cost. This is possible with John Blacks approach to LEAN!By S. Manthey
