Collected Employee Engagement & Satisfaction Improvement Statistics – Lean Healthcare

I'm going to use this blog post / page to collect published statistics about the impact the Lean management philosophy has had on healthcare quality and patient safety. I have a similar page on quality and patient safety statistics here.

If you have stats to submit, email me or comment on the post.

• The success of LEAN transformation is being confirmed by patient satisfaction survey results. Dr. Tetreault says the latest numbers are at an all-time high, with 90 per cent of patients reporting very good or excellent care. Another affirming survey is the employee engagement scores. In the clinical and surgical departments, both of which have seen LEAN transformations, numbers are up 15 per cent.
