A3 Problem Solving for Healthcare
The A3 process is a way to look with “new eyes” at a specific problem identified by direct observation or experience. It offers a structure that begins by always defining the issue through the eyes of the customer.
In A3 Problem Solving for Healthcare Cindy Jimmerson explains an essential tool borrowed from the Toyota Production System, which is an extension of work identified with the well-known Value Stream Map. She offers an easy-to-learn problem-solving method that can be used in every aspect of healthcare to identify, understand, and improve processes that don’t support workers in doing their good work.
