DESCRIPTION:
"A great read full of good information!!" according to Keith L. Once again Pascal Dennis has written a great book. Andy & Me and the Hospital catches many of the features that make applying a system started in Manufacturing complex when used in healthcare. The book does an excellent job of pointing out how the majority of TPS works in non-manufacturing settings and explains how to adapt the few that don't translate well.I strongly recommend this book to any healthcare workers who are on a transformation journey. Especially those who don't believe Lean will work for them because healthcare is "special.". kl said Prescription for improving the broken healthcare world. Pascal Dennis tells everyone how healthcare can be made better and safer. I wish that more healthcare leaders would take the time to understand his message and apply Lean thinking to their organizations.. Very easy and enjoyable read All levels of a reporting structure will gain knowledge with reading this book. Very easy and enjoyable read.
