Hospital uses ‘lean’ manufacturing techniques to speed stroke care

5 different versions of the same story, basically they identified all the processes  involved in delivering tPA and improved them.  And yet they totally missed faster ways of identifying ischemic vs. hemmorhagic.  They were bean counters interested in improving something rather than identifying  innovative processes that make the  current environment obsolete. Not quite as bad as the neurohospitalists.  Failure, another buggy whip manufacturer. Its just that failures here cost lives.
