Lean Six Sigma for Hospitals: Simple Steps to Fast, Affordable, Flawless Healthcare explains how to use tested Lean Six Sigma methods and tools to rapidly improve hospital operations and quality of care and reduce costs. These proven strategies follow the patient from the front door of the hospital or emergency room all the way through discharge, examining key aspects of patient flow and quality. The trail of billing and collections is also followed to discover and eliminate cash flow leaks.

More so as a sales pitch for QI macros and brief outlook of lean six sigma. will recommend to managers with no prior experience with lean six sigma for a narrative overview
By Sohaib Aleem
This book is reasonable and a quick overview, but my no means an extensive or indepth analysis of the process or how to execute Lean Six Sigma. Ok for beginners, but you will need another book for a more details and to walk you through the process.
