The Pittsburgh Way to Efficient Healthcare: Improving Patient Care Using Toyota Based Methods
Grunden, Naida
America's healthcare system needs change. Not only does our country spend 16% of its gross domestic product on healthcare, but people in the United States are less healthy than in other industrialized countries that spend less. There is a lot of data about what's wrong with healthcare, but previous little practical, hands-on information about how to fix it. In The Pittsburgh Way to Efficient Healthcare, Naida Grunden provides a hopeful look at how principles borrowed from industry can be applied to make healthcare safer, and in doing so, make it more efficient and less costly. The book is a complication of case studies from units in different hospitals around the Pittsburgh region that applied industrial principles successfully, making patients safer and employees more satisfied.
