Any book, white paper, blog, tweet, etc. on Lean, Six Sigma, Lean Sigma, etc. must recognize not only the importance of having staff learn about and identify wastes, as well as the array of Lean Six Sigma tools and concepts to eliminate those wastes, but also recognize the importance of leadership to ensure employees are engaged in an improvement project.  This is accomplished through the following activities, in which, all have an equally important part:
  1. Leaders must provide direction for continuous improvement through continual communications and involvement (See the ebook The Lean Sigma Roadmap and Gemba Walk Guide – Healthcare Edition or Practical Lean Six Sigma for Healthcare app).
  2. An organization should have a standard approach for teams and individuals to improve processes (See the book Kaizen Demystified).
  3. Leaders at all levels must continually link (align) the strategic direction of the organization to departmental, team, and personal goals.
  4. Leaders must learn to lead from the front, within, and the rear of teams when facilitating improvement projects.
  5. Ensure that the previous 1-4 activities respect staff at all times.
It is with great pleasure to present Activity Doesn’t Mean Achievement: Identifying Waste in Healthcare to all types of healthcare facilities to further provide assistance  to not only reduce wastes (and costs), but at the same time improve patient safety, quality of care, and quick access to care.  While healthcare is aggressively using a variety of ways to improve the continuum of care, we believe that learning about and identifying wastes in this format will assist this endeavor.
