Lean for Healthcare
The current healthcare system must improve due to the enormous defect rate (estimated at nearly 45% by the New England Journal of Medicine), premium cost escalation, nursing shortages, etc. General Motor Corporation reported that healthcare expenditures equate to $1,525 per car. This cost is more than the steel to make the car! The insult to injury is that a significant portion of the costs related to healthcare services is waste. The national numbers for wastes in healthcare are between 30 and 40%.
