100+ unread emails in your in-box and two sick colleagues mark the start of your day. You then run from meeting to meeting. Back in the department, you hear at the front desk that your patients are asking what’s taking you so long. Again, no diner with your family. If you’ve been a provider for a while and still struggling to get your work done, it might be time to “doctor” your processes. To free up time and improve the quality of your work, you will have to diagnose your processes – as you do with your patients – so you will discover how to improve. To make such a “process diagnosis” a lot easier, I wrote my book, or better pocket coach, Passport to the Gemba* – Learning to See Improvements in Healthcare. * Gemba is Japanese for the actual place, where the actual thing happens; workplace A step-by-step guide on how to (learn to) observe, challenge your processes and discover:
