A Factory of One

With increased pressure on healthcare organizations to reduce costs and improve care, all healthcare professionals could benefit from methods to reduce waste and become more efficient. The same Lean principles that a hospital might use to eliminate waste and improve the efficiency of processes are applicable to individuals working in healthcare. This book not only provides the tools to alleviate the obvious symptoms of inefficiency but also demonstrates how to find the root causes underlying that inefficiency and eliminate them. It presents a practical, step-by-step approach to applying lean principles to individuals, including real-world examples to illustrate how these principles have been applied in the healthcare industry.
