Leveraging Lean in Medical Laboratories: Creating a Cost Effective, Standardized, High Quality, Patient-Focused Operation Charles Protzman 1. Painos

Lean principles can help laboratories significantly increase speed, efficiency, and quality. A Lean laboratory drives up efficiencies and quality without increasing costs or compromising quality. This is a 'how-to' book for a Lean implementation that combines Lean tools and concepts as applied to the laboratory. The first part of the book provides an overview of Lean with individual descriptions of each of the lean tools. The second half contains a detailed case study which demonstrates how Lean was implemented and the tools used to achieve the desired results.
