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.

Let’s work together to build a culture of continuous improvement and psychological safety. If you're a leader looking to create lasting change—not just projects—I help organizations:
- Engage people at all levels in sustainable improvement
- Shift from fear of mistakes to learning from them
- Apply Lean thinking in practical, people-centered ways

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
