Lean Healthcare Overview Article in CFO Mag

Keen to Be Lean – CFO Magazine – December 2009 Issue – CFO.com

I'll share the above link with a little commentary, for now, a nice overview of Lean Healthcare for CFO Magazine. I helped the writer with research and ended up being quoted a few times. No misquoting, defect-free!

There are mentions of several great Lean organizations, including ThedaCare and Denver Health. Our friend Bob Emiliani was quoted, too.

I think the article did a nice job of focusing on quality and employee engagement and not using Lean as a layoff-based cost-cutting strategy (surprising for a magazine for Chief Financial Officers?).

Thoughts on the article? Reactions?
