Instead of building new hospitals that import old systems and problems, the time has come to reexamine many of our ideas about what a hospital should be. Can a building foster continuous improvement? How can we design it to be flexible and useful well into the future? How can we do more with less?
Winner of a 2013 Shingo Prize for Operational Excellence!Answering these questions and more, Lean-Led Hospital Design: Creating the Efficient Hospital of the Future explains how hospitals can be built to increase patient safety and reduce wait times while eliminating waste, lowering costs, and easing some of healthcare’s most persistent problems. It supplies a simplified timeline of architectural planning—from start to finish—to guide readers through the various stages of the Lean design development philosophy, including Lean architectural design and Lean work design. It includes examples from several real healthcare facility design and construction projects, as well as interviews with hospital leaders and architects.

The latest Shingo Prize-winning book by Lean Healthcare pioneer Naida Grunden and her co-author Charles Hagood presents a new and essential perspective for the future of healthcare service delivery.By Steve Bell, Lean IT Strategies
In the past, facilities have been designed with efficiency in mind -- efficiency of the healthcare providers, rather than the holistic, team oriented view of the patient care process and outcomes. As a result we end up acting "penny wise and pound foolish". Just like a factory, where Lean Thinking began, in a healthcare setting you cannot separate the flow of work from the facilities where the work is performed.
Read this book and learn how to think about healthcare service delivery in a new way, redesigning the flow of work and patient interactions through Lean pull and flow principles.

I was tasked with layout of a new office space. My space utilization targets were steep and my budget was small. Beyond that, I wanted to renovate a related space to match the new office.By Nathan Yearsley
In researching tools that might help me do this I came across this book. The down to earth approach and real life examples were fantastic. The theories in this book are applied in a pragmatic way that enabled me and my team to understand and apply them ourselves.
We achieved our targets plus 14% more. We saved money enough to renovate the area adjacent to this space! The principles in this book were key to our success.
