kare11.com :: KARE 11 TV – Auto concept drives Park Nicollet strategy
In the news once again, Park Nicollet Hospital in Minnesota is getting media attention for its lean efforts. They claim a $15 million savings over the past two years, although I’m glad to see this is not just a “cost cutting” exercise, they are focused on patient care improvements, using flow and value stream mapping concepts.

Also see the following book “Stop Rising Healthcare Costs Using Toyota Lean Production Methods” by Robert Chalice at http://www.qualitypress.asq.org/perl/catalog.cgi?item=H1255
It is a very good guide on how to implement LEAN in healthcare.
Thanks
