Healthcare providers face unique challenges � as large institutions providing the most intimate of services, they are mandated to balance quality of care with organizational efficiency. Lean offers a refreshing alternative to the "quality versus cost" conundrum � fix the broken processes that stand between healthcare workers and their patients, and improve the quality of care while reducing costs.
