Getting to know youYour prior experience with LEAN is best described as: • A. I am not very familiar with LEAN. • B. My healthcare organization is doing some LEAN things and my reaction is… “meah.” • C. My healthcare organization (or other organizations I am familiar with) did some LEAN and it was an unmitigated disaster. • D. My healthcare organization is completely LEAN

A wise man once told me: “Behavior drives culture” From: To:
New and Improved Paediatric Medicine Quality Leadership Team • We still meet monthly to discuss trends in performance and to prioritize which metrics to improve upon • Except now… • I had to get a much bigger room! • I am currently looking for an even bigger room! • Staff come in on their OFF DAYS! • I look forward to it instead of dreading it
