Saskatchewan Health involves 42000 staff in planning

The Ministry of Health in Saskatchewan has had a big vision for years: To make an entire provincial healthcare system produce 100% reliable results for citizens. Leaders carefully evaluated the approaches to achieving this goal and decided the lean operating system was the way to make it actually happen. They have been on the journey for a few years now transforming both inpatient and outpatient care processes.

We will be following this experiment carefully and stand ready to help where we can.
