Since 2005, Denver Health, Denver's primary safety net institution, has integrated the Toyota Production System's LEAN philosophy into daily operations. We are the only healthcare organization in the world to be awarded the Shingo Bronze Medallion for Operational Excellence. Our LEAN success is proof of this powerful methodology; we have been able to achieve great financial benefit while improving quality in patient care.
