This book offers a well-designed and easy-to-follow approach to reducing healthcare costs. It covers the building blocks of a framework built on the lean process improvement thinking as a core model that, when used correctly, results in identifying and reducing process waste, and reducing healthcare costs. Chapter one introduces lean thinking and its principles, and discusses how lean process improvement can be developed and effectively implemented. Chapters two, three, five, six and seven show how each of the five principles contributes to lean thinking, detail the effective use of the related tools and templates, and include relevant and real-life case studies and lessons learned.
