In On the Mend: Revolutionizing Healthcare to Save Lives and Transform the Industry John Toussaint, MD, former CEO of ThedaCare, and Roger A. Gerard, PhD, its chief learning officer, candidly describe the triumphs and stumbles of a seven-year journey to lean healthcare, an effort that continues today and that has slashed medical errors, improved patient outcomes, raised staff morale, and saved $27 million dollars in costs without layoffs. Find out: How lean techniques of value-stream-mapping and rapid improvement events cut the average "door-to-balloon" time for heart attack patients at two hospitals from 90 minutes to 37 ; What ThedaCare leaders did to replace medicine's "shame and blame" culture with a lean culture based on continuous improvement and respect for people ; How the lean principle of "building in quality at the source" broke down divisions among medical specialties allowing teams to develop patient care plans faster ; Why traditional modern management is the single biggest impediment to lean healthcare ; How the plan-do-study-act cycle coupled with rapid improvement events cut the wait time at a robotic radiosurgery unit from 26 days to six ; How the lean concept of "one piece flow" saved time in treating ischemic stroke patients, increasing the number of patients receiving a CT scan within 25 minutes from 51% to 89% ; How senior leaders at other healthcare organizations can begin their own lean transformations using a nine-step action plan based on what ThedaCare did - and what it would do differently. Toussaint and Gerard prove that lean healthcare does not mean less care. On the Mend shows that when care is truly re-designed around patients, waste and errors are eliminated, quality improves, costs come down, and healthcare professionals have more time to spend with patients, who get even better care. 650 0 $a Health care reform $z United States. 650 0 $a Medical care, Cost of $z United States $x Evaluation. 650 0 $a Organizational behavior. 650 0 $a Medical care. 650 0 $a Health care reform. 650 0 $a Corporate culture. 650 2 $a Delivery of Health Care 650 2 $a Health Care Reform 650 2 $a Organizational Culture 651 2 $a United States 650 6 $a Services de santeÌ $x ReÌforme $z EÌtats-Unis. 650 6 $a Soins meÌdicaux $x EÌvaluation. $z EÌtats-Unis $x EÌvaluation. 650 6 $a Comportement organisationnel. 650 6 $a Prestation de soins. 650 6 $a Services de santeÌ $x ReÌforme. 650 6 $a Culture d'entreprise. 650 7 $a Medical care. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01013753 650 7 $a Corporate culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00879624 650 7 $a Health care reform. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00952850 650 7 $a Medical care, Cost of $x Evaluation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01013907 650 7 $a Organizational behavior. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01047801 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 7 $a Health care reform $z United States. $2 nli 650 7 $a Medical care $z United States. $2 nli 650 7 $a Organizational behavior. $2 nli 700 1 $a Gerard, Roger A. 941 $a 1 952 $l UVAX975 $d 20240215013548.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2C1FFAAACBD011EEA85EE9E240ECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IWSInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
