The Journey
Day 2 in Washington DC
Popularity: 4%
I am here at the second day of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)¹s annual Patient Safety in Health IT conference. My ears are of course tuned to anything involving LEAN. LEAN has been mentioned once, as a quip of a joke. Something along the line of ³we need to be LEAN, and I¹m not talking in the Toyota Motor way.²
That¹s just great. On the other hand, what does that say about health care¹s interest in transformation? I wish and hope that my professional colleagues will read beyond the headlines and think about how everyone can improve. On the other hand, there will always be room for a change agent or two.
