Here's a Sneak Peek of Beyond Heroes: A Lean Management System
for Healthcare
 
This new book is just one of the many educational opportunities from the ThedaCare Center for Healthcare Value to teach hospitals how to build a lean management system. Beyond Heroes shares lessons, tools, failures and successes. It tells the story of how front-line leadership at ThedaCare was stretched thin with new lean processes and needed a different way to manage.   

  

Readers will learn about Team Huddles, Managing to Established Standards, Problem Solving, Transparency, Advisory Teams, Scorecards, Standard Work for Leaders, and the physician's role in a business performance system.
