Empowering Healthcare Leaders in South Africa

Recently, John Toussaint, MD was a keynote speaker at Lean Institute Africa’s Lean Healthcare Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, where he and many healthcare leaders shared learnings from applying lean in real-world settings.

Grey Dube, CEO of Leratong Hospital in Johannesburg, who has been involved in a Catalysis leadership program, shared that before initiating lean at his hospital he received over 20 complaints a day about wait times. Since applying lean techniques to improve processes, this hospital has reduced complaints to nearly zero.

If your organization has a similar success story please consider sharing at our Lean Healthcare Transformation Summit 2018 Europe, October 9-10 in Amsterdam.

Transformation Begins With You

The best place to start a transformation is with yourself. Every person at a desk, workstation, or operating room must deal with the challenge of reducing waste and stopping errors. The principles that have improved efficiencies in a factory can be just as powerful in boosting personal performance.

A Factory of One: Applying Lean Principles to Banish Waste and Improve Your Personal Performance describes how you can foster a new mindset and improve your performance by applying lean methods to your work. Free shipping in the US.
