Book excerpt: This is an excellent read about people, and the process of healing healthcare. Will Patterson is the new CEO at Healing University Medical Center. What he inherits is a broken system; an organization losing money, exhausted doctors and nurses, high turnover rates, and patient satisfaction at an all-time low. When his own mother suffers a minor heart attack and receives excellent care at another facility, Patterson is faced with a stark realization: he would not have wanted her to have come to his hospital. Rather than despair, he reaches out to the CEO where his mother was treated in the hopes of discovering their secret. What he finds are a leadership philosophy and the tools to completely transform Healing University. Transformational leadership is the philosophy. Lean provides the tools. Patterson is initially skeptical about the idea of applying Lean processes to Healing U. After all, patients are not inanimate objects flowing through a process. But by focusing on this idea Patter

Download or read book Beyond Heroes written by Kim Barnas and published by ThedaCare Center for Healthcare Value. This book was released on 2014-04-29 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hospitals have long relied on the heroics of one brilliant nurse or doctor to save the day. Such heroics often result in temporary workarounds and quick fixes that leave not only patients and quality care at risk, but also increase costs. This is the story of an organization breaking that habit. Like a growing number of healthcare organizations around the world, ThedaCare, Inc. has been using lean thinking and the principles of the Toyota Production System to improve quality of care, reduce waste, and become more reliable. But lean thinking was incompatible with ThedaCare’s old top-down, hero-based system of management. Kim Barnas, former SVP of ThedaCare, shows us how she and her team created a management system that is stable and lean, to spur continuous improvement. Beyond Heroes shows the reader, step by step, how ThedaCare teams developed the system, using the stories of its doctors, nurses and administrators to illustrate. The book explores each of the eight essential components of the lean system, from front-line problem solving with the scientific method to daily team huddles and creating standard work for leaders all the way to the top of an organization. Finally, the author introduces four executives from healthcare systems across North America who have implemented ThedaCare’s system and share the lessons they learned along the way. Beyond Heroes is not just a call to action or an argument for a better healthcare system. It is a necessary roadmap through the rocky terrain ahead, one that healthcare leaders can customize to their special needs.
