Book Review: "Management on the Mend" by John Toussaint, MD. In exploring transformative approaches in healthcare management, I recently read "Management on the Mend" by John Toussaint, M.D. While primarily written as a guide to the Lean transformation of a healthcare delivery system, the book transcends its primary focus and serves as a comprehensive resource. It lays the groundwork for understanding the intricacies of such a transformation and assessing its suitability for various organizational contexts. Particularly noteworthy is Chapter 3, which delves into the Shingo model's application within healthcare settings. This section stands out for its universal relevance, offering valuable insights regardless of whether Lean practices are the chosen path for organizational development. While many aspects of the book resonated with me, there were points of divergence. Specifically, the suggestion of posting visual management boards in each employee's office to track professional development may not fit with each organization's culture. In essence, "Management on the Mend" is a thought-provoking read that offers a blueprint for Lean transformation in healthcare and a platform for critical analysis of the practicality of its applications. It encourages a reflective evaluation of how such methodologies can be tailored to foster a culture of continuous improvement and patient-centered care. #leanhealthcare #leansixsigmayellowbelt

Assessing Lean Six Sigma and quality performance improvement in Italian public healthcare organisations: a validated scale I am happy to learn that the above article has now been published in the TQM journal, a top tier practitioner journal in quality management. Many thanks to all co-authors led by Angelo Rosa in Italy. Drawing from previously established survey development and adaptation protocols, a replication study was carried out; Lean, Six Sigma and Quality Performance Improvement were extracted and validated through confirmatory factor analysis in an Italian Public Healthcare setting, with a sample of health professionals from the Campania region.  The analysis of the study extracts six conceptual domains and constitutes an original adaptation of an existing scale to assess the readiness to adopt Lean, Six Sigma and Quality Performance in Italian Public Health Organisations. The constructs show strong levels of internal consistency, as demonstrated by each item factor loading and each sub-scale reliability. Managers, policymakers and academics can employ the proposed tool to assess the public healthcare ecosystem’s capability to implement LSS initiatives and strategies to improve quality performance.

Have you ever found yourself interacting with a doctor who appeared rushed and quick in one hospital, only to encounter the same doctor in a different setting, displaying warmth and concern? This phenomenon extends beyond healthcare to various institutions. It's a broader observation highlighting the impact of organizational culture on professional conduct, not exclusive to the healthcare system. Culture's significance extends to quality improvement methods, ranging from clinical audits to collaborative initiatives and Lean Six Sigma. While organizational culture's language is often perceived as a driving force for change—sometimes as a culprit or a remedy—deeper questions emerge. What does culture truly mean in health services? How does it correlate with healthcare quality, safety, and performance? Can altering culture lead to tangible improvements in care and organizational performance? Some individuals believe that managing this cultural aspect can lead to positive outcomes. However, this notion requires a thorough examination. We must delve into a nuanced understanding of organizational culture within healthcare. Resources: Bmj_journals 2022 https://bit.ly/3SWctH3

The Importance of Critical Thinking in Healthcare Teams. In healthcare, the ability to think critically is more crucial than ever. Yet, it seems that critical thinking is becoming a lost skill, particularly among younger generations entering the workforce. As healthcare leaders, it's our responsibility to address this gap and cultivate critical thinking skills within our teams. Why is critical thinking so important? Because in healthcare, decisions can have life-or-death consequences. Critical thinking enables healthcare professionals to analyze complex situations, weigh evidence, and make informed decisions that directly impact patient care and safety. So, what can healthcare organizations do to foster critical thinking skills? It starts with education and training. Implementing programs that focus on critical thinking development, such as scenario-based learning, problem-solving workshops, and ongoing professional development, can help cultivate these skills among staff members. But it's not just about individual skills; it's about building high-performing teams. A team of critical thinkers can collaborate effectively, challenge assumptions, and innovate to find solutions to complex problems. This is especially important in the context of building a high-reliability organization, where every member of the team plays a critical role in ensuring safety and quality care. At TCHealth, we understand the importance of critical thinking. Our approach to team development goes beyond traditional training methods to empower healthcare teams with the skills they need to excel in today's challenging healthcare environment. Let's start a conversation about how we can work together to build high-performing, critical-thinking teams that drive success in your healthcare organization. #CriticalThinking #HealthcareTeams #HighReliabilityOrganizations #HealthcareConsulting #ProfessionalDevelopment #PatientSafety #Teamwork
