															 most dangerous kind of waste is the waste we do not recognize.” – 
															Shigeo Shingo -&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Helvetica;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
								
							&lt;/blockquote&gt;
						&lt;/div&gt;
					&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 18px; font-family: Helvetica;"&gt;The philosophy behind lean is simple, continuous improvement with the removal of waste and inefficiencies.  Lean is an ever-evolving philosophy based on proven principles and methods that incorporate a compilation of world-class practices to improve an organization through an evidence-based methodology. Lean focuses on the customer and adding value to the organization by using its employees, trained in the methodology, to achieve continuous improvement by redesigning processes to create a more efficient work environment. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

								&lt;!-- /sandvox.ImageElement --&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
						&lt;/div&gt;
					&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px; font-family: Helvetica; color: black;"&gt;Although the concept of Lean and its various tools come from the manufacturing industry (popularized by Toyota), Lean has been used in healthcare for nearly 20 years. Today, hundreds of health systems and hospitals successfully use Lean to increase efficiency and reduce waste. A few examples include: The Cleveland Clinic, Denver Health Medical Center, Virginia Mason MedicalCente&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;"&gt;r, Northwell Health, University of Michigan Medical Center, and Brigham and Women’s Hospital.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

			<description>
				&lt;div class="article-summary"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';"&gt;The Tudor Group inspires healthcare professionals to transformthe patient experience, elevating it to world-class standards.  We are healthcare professionals in the business of enhancing the patient experience with solutions that drive outcome measures including publicly reported and financially incentivized HCAHPS scores.  Serving hamburgers and shakes or delivering room service can not be compared to caring for a failing patient while the family sits by their side. With over two decades of healthcare experience, we employ cutting edge data-driven solutions that are supported by the latest research and are proven effective in the healthcare industry. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';"&gt;We do not simply employ tactics to raise scores; we provide strategic direction and assist in building an infrastructure to sustain the delivery of outstanding patient centered care.  We provide the full perspective on improving the patient experience; including process improvement/redesign, education, simulation, and a full range of organization development offerings.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
