The Lean Prescription:

For years, discussions of the broken US healthcare system have been long on diagnosis and short on solutions. The Lean Prescription: Powerful Medicine for Our Ailing Healthcare System aims to fix that. By mixing explanation, thought exercises and real-life examples, Gabow and Goodman provide a thoughtful and accessible introduction to the discipline of Lean and its application within healthcare systems. By grounding the book in their real-life experience, they paint a clear and realistic picture of the commitment necessary, the enthusiasm and empowerment engendered and the exceptional results Denver Health achieved for its patients and its staff. For any leader who’s looking for a serious approach—not a silver bullet—to making their system work better for all stakeholders, this book holds a powerful message.
