Summary
Healthcare is the least safe industry in the world today. In the USA alone over 200,000 patients die from medical error each year (Makary and Daniel 2016). This is the third leading cause of death. This true crisis in healthcare is the burning platform for a new management method. The lean method. Multiple healthcare case studies have shown that organizations managed through lean thinking produce better quality results. Further, preliminary data suggest some positive associations between lean implementation and selected one year lagged performance measures such as lower Medicare Spending per Adjusted Beneficiary and higher Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) done by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services of all hospitals in the USA (Shortell and Rundall 2018).
