AB  - With  all  the  hoopla  about  healthcare  reform,  there's  one  huge  missing  piece—healthcare  is  going  to  have  to  get  dramatically  faster,  better,  and  cheaper  to  help  pay  for  the  changes.  Each  of  the  nation's  5,700+  hospitals  must  find  ways  to  cut  millions  of  dollars  in  unnecessary  costs  over  the  next  decade.  This  may  sound  difficult  considering  that  half  of  all  hospitals  lose  money.  Most  hospitals  exist  on  less  than  a  5  percent  margin.  But  Lean  can  help  hospitals  to  start  getting  faster,  better,  and  cheaper  in  just  a  few  days.  And  we  don't  have  to  look  any  further  than  Virginia  Mason  Medical  Center  to  discover  the  power  of  Lean  to  transform  healthcare  into  a  patient-centered  model  that  delivers  better  outcomes  and  more  profit.
