In this ground-breaking book, John Toussaint, MD and Roger A. Gerard, PhD, candidly describe the triumphs and lessons learned of a seven-year journey to lean healthcare at ThedaCare, a health system in Wiscon, providing better measurably better value - better patient care at a lower cost.
The video takes you to multiple locations at ThedaCare and Appleton Medical Center, including the senior leadership "visual room" and two inpatient units. Leaders including former CEO John Toussaint MD, current CEO Dean Gruner MD, and COO Matt Furlan describe how strategy deployment helps align the entire organization and their improvement efforts around their "true north" objectives for measurably better care. You will also see front-line managers describe how they drive daily continuous improvement in alignment with ThedaCare's mission, vision, and strategy.
