#TBT: My Podcast Interview with Joe Swartz on a Kaizen Culture in Healthcare
Today's Post in <50 Words: This post looks back at a podcast that I did a few years ago with Joe Swartz, talking about how he helped introduce Kaizen at Franciscan St. Francis Health and how they've built that culture.
Recently, with my podcasts, I've started producing PDF summaries of the episodes that highlight some key points and quotes for those who would rather read than listen.
I started doing this with Episode #270 and I think it's now part of my personal “standardized work” for the podcasts.
I've also published a version of those summaries on LinkedIn, through their publishing platform, as I did, for example, with Katie Anderson's episode:
“Katie Anderson on Whether “Lean” is Easier or More Difficult in Japan“
As there is a bit of a hiatus right now between new podcast episodes, I dipped into the archives for Episode #187 with my Healthcare Kaizen co-author Joe Swartz.
Here is that episode:
Podcast #187 – Joe Swartz, Co-Author of the “Healthcare Kaizen” Books
That episode page now has a 4-page PDF summary of Joe's thoughts on creating a Kaizen culture at Franciscan St. Francis Health.
Here are direct links to those PDF files:

And here is the summary that I posted yesterday on LinkedIn:
“How to Create a Culture of Continuous Improvement in Healthcare“
I hope you'll check it out.
I hope you'll also consider attending the “Kaizen Live!” site visit that Joe and I are hosting at his system, in Indianapolis, this May.
