i wellman LeanBlog Podcast #80   Joan Wellman, Lean in Healthcare leanThis episode is a discussion with Joan Wellman, of the consulting firm Joan Wellman & Associates. Joan is a real pioneer in the lean healthcare arena, having started her initial work with a hospital in 1995 — I haven’t found anybody who started this work earlier. We first met in Seattle a few months back and I’m thrilled to bring you this discussion about the early days of lean healthcare and her thoughts on the potential for the future.
