Limits of Lean - Transformative Care Redesign Must Go Beyond Typical Lean-Based Improvements [click to access]. The NEJM Catalyst just posted this original article that may be of interest to HCMD members. It can be found at http://catalyst.nejm.org/
and the Care Redesign page http://catalyst.nejm.org/care-redesign/ This is a research-based opinion piece, drawing on AHRQ research, along with multiple reviews of the research literature. I welcome comments from HCMD colleagues on the article's thesis.
