Description

In no industry is the concept of quality more essential than it is in healthcare, which is why the lean quality principles learned through the example of the Toyota Production System are so applicable. Two fundamental principles of Toyota‘s push for excellence are especially relevant to healthcare: ensuring quality at every step and keeping improvement processes simple enough that they are viable, reproducible, and teachable. Developed with the input of more than 60 healthcare organizations, Value Stream Mapping for Healthcare Made Easy introduces healthcare managers to the essential method developed by Toyota known as the Value Stream Map (VSM). The first half of the book provides an introduction to VSMs that shows healthcare workers at all levels how to look at any process with eyes that probe all the value-added and non-value-added activities in the delivery of a requested service or product. This will allow all stakeholders the opportunity to evaluate, create, and communicate innovation in their workplace. The second half reviews real value stream maps at real healthcare facilities created by teams of administrators, managers, physicians, and staff members. Most participants were not experienced with lean thinking and for many this was their first engagement with lean methods. What becomes clear through these examples is the importance of initiating realistic improvements that can quickly demonstrate successful change and encourage even more problem solving. This ability to be involved with creating a better way to work has been exceptionally well received by workers both at Toyota and now throughout the healthcare industry. Lean thinking involves employees in improving work that is meaningful to them, at a level where they can see and appreciate the changes they have participated in creating. This satisfaction is essential to retaining good workers, as well as to the everyday improvement of safety, patient sat Review Cindy Jimmerson is a proven and well-known practitioner of Lean methods in healthcare. Her book is full of varied case studies that beautifully illustrate the power of the value stream mapping method and how it fits into a Lean transformation journey.― Mark Graban, Shingo Prize-Winning Author of Lean Hospitals: Improving Quality, Patient Safety, and Employee SatisfactionFollowing her publication A3 Problem Solving for Healthcare, Cindy Jimmerson has produced another excellent book that demonstrates why value stream maps are a fundamental component in applying Lean TPS and how using the A3 and VSM enables you to see the bigger picture and zero in on a specific problem. The selection of case studies reflects the range of common problems across the whole healthcare system. A must read for all.― Lesley Wright, Director – Diagnostics, NHS ImprovementThis book is an invaluable resource for all involved in implementation of Lean in Healthcare. Every reader from novice to veteran practitioner will find what they are looking for here. Cindy Jimmerson has put it all together in a practical guide that covers big concepts, all the technical details, and illustrated case studies that clarify how all of the tools and concepts work together. Jimmerson has demystified the value stream map and made it an actionable tool for all!―Mimi Falbo, Mimi Falbo LLCThroughout my nearly 20 year career at Toyota and my consulting work beyond, I have coached many clients on Lean Thinking in a wide range of industries both public and private. Along the way, I have seen many ‘translations’ of Toyota’s approach to other industries and business applications. Sadly, most miss the mark. Some by a lot! I am pleased however that Cindy Jimmerson’s work here is not only true to its Lean roots in Toyota but she has added to the overall body of knowledge in significant ways that make logical extensions and rational adaptations to fit her clients’ unique needs. I would highly recommend this book to anyone desiring to
