Great practitioner handbook - a must readBy JonathanAs an early lean learner (3 years into my learning and practicing journey), I very much resonate with Mark's approach and truly appreciate his shared lean healthcare learnings in all his books. Mark's pragmatic methods/teachings simplify the core concepts making them easier to apply/practice. In addition, his people-centric focus (both patient and employee) is both refreshing and respectful asMark Graban is one of the most respected voices in the Lean world. He is the founder and driving force behind Lean Blog, (http://www.leanblog.org/blog/) a vibrant site he continuously updates with compelling information and analysis about lean in health care. Markrsquo;s new book, Healthcare KaizeHospitals and health systems are facing many challenges, including shrinking reimbursements and the need to improve patient safety and quality. A growing number of healthcare organizations are turning to the Lean management system as an alternative to traditional cost cutting and layoffs. "Kaizen," which is translated from Japanese as "good change" or "change for the better," is a core pillar of the Lean strategy for today's best healthcare organizations.
