Riassunto

Drawing on extensive experience in healthcare operations improvement, the Wisconsin-based author looks to Toyota's lean production method as a model to help stem the escalating costs of US healthcare. Following an overview of system problems and the failure of other quality improvement approaches, he prescribes a treatment plan that encompasses defining value from the patient's perspective to holding onto gains achieved. Error-free pathology serves as an application example. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
