1 Lean – Quick Tutorial
Toyota Confronted the Same Challenges 60+ Years Ago
What Does Lean Mean?
“Provide the most value from the customer’s perspective while consuming the fewest resources and utilizing the talents of the people who do the work”
Principles of Lean
1. Specify Value
2. Identify the Value Stream
3. Create Flow
4. Establish Pull
5. Seek Perfection
What is of value to the customer?
Quality monitoring and continuous improvement
Don’t do anything until it’s needed and
then do it first
Occur in a sequence so that work flows smoothly
and on time
All activities required to bring a service or
product to the customer
Lean Philosophy
Remove the waste that is a barrier or burden to delivering value
Look for leadership at all levels
Value people…
use the scientific method…
challenge traditional thinking…
• Use facts and data
• Rapid cycle PDSA to promote continuous learning
• Refuse to let silos become barriers
• Recognize that tech is an enabler, not the answer
The Scientific Method Applied to Daily WorkThe same PI Model

Key learning: Incorporation of Five Lean “Kata” Coaching Questions
Coaching Kata – behavior or pattern
What is the target condition?
What is the actual condition now?
What obstacles are preventing you from reaching the target condition?
• Which are you addressing now?
• Who out there is doing it better?
• What toolkits already exist?
• What could work here?
Key learning: Incorporation of Five Lean “Kata” Coaching Questions
What is your next step?
• What could work here?
• Who will champion this?
• Who should be on the team to work out the details?
• What tests of change can we do where, in order to test our theories next Tuesday?
• How to launch, educate, monitor and provide feedback?
When can we go and see what we have learned from taking that step?

3 Standardizing Work & Creating Joy Cross Functional Improvement Examples
CASE STUDY
• Ambulatory Clinic– Aim: To improve patient satisfaction by designing
work processes that support the flow of patients while in the clinic
– What They Did:• Scripting developed• Medical Assistant role as patient navigator• Needed supplies reorganized, available• Workstation locations for physicians moved closer to
patients, U-shaped cell– Big Wins:
• Reduced wait times• Improved physician efficiency• Removed patient, staff frustration• Improving patient satisfaction
– Team Feedback:• “Before Lean, I didn’t know the voice of the
patient”• “There is a lot of retraining to be done”• “A clinic is complex needs standard work!”
Examples of Joy ReturnedOrganizing flow around patients
CASE STUDY
• Mother Baby Bonding– Aim: To establish guiding principles and processes for
ensuring families (mother, baby, and father) are kept together during their post-partum stay

CASE STUDY
• Care of Stroke Rehabilitation– Aim: To design Best Practice Care Model for individuals
who have experienced a stroke that is consistently delivered by staff throughout the continuum
– What They Did:• New workflows, clear roles & responsibilities• Rehab presence at every level of care• Timely evaluations, streamlined documentation
– Big Wins: • Voice of the patient honored• Reduced lead time to < 24 hours, LOS• Matched skillsets to patient needs• Improving functional independence
– Team Feedback:• “Everyone has something to offer”
