5.0 out of 5 stars a great self study book, May 18, 2009

Sara Larch (Alexandria, VA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Mastering Patient Flow: Using Lean Thinking to Improve Your Practice Operations (Medical Practice Management Core Learning) (Paperback)
I just have to take a few moments to share a wonderful experience with your patient flow book!!! I have 50% of an Administrative Fellow working with me on some projects (he finished his masters degree from Univ of Minn - MHA) and is now working here in a couple areas. I haven't hired someone to fill my Sr Director of Ambulatory Operations yet and needed a bunch of analysis on 3 different physician outpatient centers - - focused on space utilization/capacity, staffing resources, etc. He has NO experience working with physicians and no experience in a physician practice except as a patient. I told him the kind of data I was looking for, handed him your book and said to use it as a resource for what he should measure and how he should measure it and sent him off to interview the 3 practice managers and to gather data.

I returned from my week away and he has charts, graphs, and all kinds of analysis for my meeting with him tomorrow. And it looks just like the kind of data in your book!!!!!

Yes, he is smart and motivated to excel. But, obviously your book was an excellent self study tool that he was able to read and use very quickly!!

Thanks for writing a great book!
