"Our hospital has been very profitable for years, so there's no burning platform for #Lean." Oh, so #quality & #patientsafety are perfect?

@MarkGraban I think even more telling is that this exec only ties #Lean to profit. #Lean is a Triple Aim +1 tool. Ask @PaulDeChantMD

Ugh! So tired of the assumption that #Lean is only about saving $$$. My Kaizen events used safety as the primary metric. https://t.co/wW5iFUyU3O

Found a # of typos to fix in my #Deming Institute blog post, now fixed. Shows how hard it is to "inspect in quality" through proof reading
— Mark Graban (@MarkGraban) January 5, 2017
"100% Inspection is not 100% effective."
Although, inspection is a typical first-action by managers.
