Part case study, part manifesto, this groundbreaking new book by a doctor and a healthcare executive uses reallife anecdotes and the logic of lean thinking to make a convincing argument that a revolutionary new kind of healthcare lean healthcare is urgently needed and eminently doable. In On the Mend: Revolutionizing Healthcare to Save Lives and Transform the Industry John Toussaint, MD, former CEO of ThedaCare, and Roger A. Gerard, PhD, its chief learning officer, candidly describe the triumphs and stumbles of a sevenyear journey to lean healthcare, an effort that continues today and that has slashed medical errors, improved patient outcomes, raised staff morale, and saved $27 million dollars in costs without layoffs. Toussaint and Gerard prove that lean healthcare does not mean less care. On the Mend shows that when care is truly redesigned around patients, waste and errors are eliminated, quality improves, costs come down, and healthcare professionals have more time to spend with patients, who get even better care.
