Implementing Lean in a hospital environment is not a random series of improvement efforts. There is a clear step-by-step process that has been developed and proven, to not only achieve the desired Lean benefits but to also sustain and continue to improve those changes. This Lean Hospital Roadmap is the top-level map or checklist for implementing Lean in a healthcare or hospital environment. This process has been test and proved over the last 5 years by the Lean experts at Leonardo Group Americas.

Notice that each of the tasks on this LeanRoadMap(tm) have an additional "drill-down" map available. The complete set is available as the Lean Hospital Action Map set from the Flow Publishing website.
