Product Description

Product Description
While there is plenty of data identifying where healthcare in America falls short, it can be a challenge to find practical, hands-on information about how to fix it. The critically acclaimed Pittsburgh Way to Efficient Healthcare changes that. This bookprovides a look at how principles borrowed from industry – in specific Toyota’s concept of lean manufacturing -- can be applied to make healthcare safer, as well as more effective and less costly. The book is a compilation of case studies from units in different hospitals around the Pittsburgh region that successfully applied industrial principles to the benefit of patients and the satisfaction of employees. This book has already received rave reviews from a large number of public policy and health experts.
