Welcome!

Welcome to LeanHospitalsBook.com, the home for more information and content about my from Productivity Press.

Here is the official Productivity Press page for the book. You can also order through amazon.com.

The book is not intended as a detailed "how to" implementation guide. It is meant to be an overview that covers topics such as:

• Why do hospitals need Lean
• What is Lean
• Case examples that show how hospitals are successfully using Lea
• How to get started with Lean

There is as much focus on leadership, culture change, and the Lean mindset, so that Lean is not just presented as a toolkit.
