Here's the latest installment of “Key Tweets,” a (usually) weekly post that presents some of my tweets (or retweets) from the week, including pictures and other interesting stuff. I sometimes also re-share items that I've posted on LinkedIn.
This time, I'm sharing things I tweeted and retweeted from the 2018 Lean Healthcare Transformation Summit event. The hashtag was #HCSummit18.
You can follow me @MarkGraban and join the fun and the conversation, but you don't need a Twitter account to view any of this.
See the previous installments of Key Tweets.

“We don’t need A3s at every level. We want PDCA thinking at every level.” – Mike Hoseus at #HCSummit18. I’ve shared similar recommendations – choose the tool that supports the thinking.https://t.co/ayCsQAAlem pic.twitter.com/AURsnqQznd

My friendly quibble with this definition of #Lean is that leaders have a huge responsibility to improve systems and create the culture. This seems to place too much burden on staff. Could say “empowers everybody” instead? #HCSummit18 pic.twitter.com/vFEk6Z8aIG

#Lean: it’s that thing where you have a central improvement team without having a True North vision? pic.twitter.com/qgCcO8buiy

Thanks @plandstrom for using run charts instead of just saying 50% Improvement. #plotthedots #hcsummit18 pic.twitter.com/rtVYyZOelG

From a talk earlier… this is a system that’s predictable but not currently capable of always hitting the goal. #plotthedots #HCSummit18 pic.twitter.com/pkeuavoE6C

In medical school, @LisaYerianMD learned “try harder” as a method. Was excited to learn about #Lean thinking as an alternative approach. #HCSummit18 pic.twitter.com/OacpZdjQoX

How can we “institutionalize a culture of improvement?” #lean @LisaYerianMD #HCSummit18 – it’s a chance to make a difference for patients, caregivers, and the community. It’s never easy though.

More from @LisaYerianMD – you can’t just tell people you’re empowered, you need to build capabilities. #HCSummit18 pic.twitter.com/kH7NICtQ47

And then react appropriately to the variation in the measure over time. Use data for learning and improvement, not punishment. https://t.co/EmnKgAHi4T

Is anyone really a “#lean leader?” That sounds very absolute and binary. Maybe we have “leaders who are practicing lean?” #HCSummit18

Red / green analysis doesn’t answer the questions of “are we improving?” What fluctuations in the metric are signals worth reacting to? And which are just noise in the metric? #HCSummit18 pic.twitter.com/AixiXZQBxQ

Also, the stick in “carrot & stick” was used to dangle the carrot instead of the donkey. The stick isn’t used to hit. https://t.co/9yTQDpOUrZ
