An Embarrassingly Poor Product
The March 16, 2003 edition of The New York Times
Magazine front cover reads, “Half of what doctors know
is wrong.”
The lead story is titled “The Biggest Mistake of Their
Lives” and chronicles four survivors of medical errors.
The article goes on to say that in 2003, as many as
98,000 people in the United States will die as a result of
medical errors.

If you don’t have any wisdom to contribute, submit sweat.
If nothing else, work hard and don’t sleep.
Or resign.”

New Management Method: The Virginia
Mason Production System
We adopted the Toyota Production System philosophies
and practices and applied them to health care because
health care lacks an effective management approach that
would produce:
• Customer first
• Highest quality
• Obsession with safety
• Highest staff satisfaction
• A successful economic enterprise

Summary
How are air conditioners, cars, looms and airplanes like health care?
• Every manufacturing element is a production processes
• Health care is a combination of complex production processes:
admitting a patient, having a clinic visit, going to surgery or a
procedure and sending out a bill
• These products involve thousands of processes—many of them very
complex
• All of these products involve the concepts of quality, safety, customer
satisfaction, staff satisfaction and cost effectiveness
• These products, if they fail, can cause fatality
