The Journey
Great Way to End the Year
It was great to connect with Ted and catch up on each other’s stories the other day. Both of us are working harder then we ever have in the past, but having more fun as well. The more we understand about Lean, the more we realize just how much possibility for improvement there is in healthcare. Looking back I think we would both say that the organizations we work with have made tremendous progress, but the challenges have only grown in scope and depth. Yet, for the first time I think we are both feeling like there is a wonderful opportunity to be part of something really big. A window to truly transform heathcare and create the first, really great health systems. Guess my optimistic side is showing itself.
Connecting with Ted is a great way to end the year. I wanted to let folks know that I am going to take a break from the computer and spend some time up in the mountains on my snowboard. Please check back right after the new year for the next year of adventures.
Thanks to all for reading and Happy New Year!!!!
