Welcome to Protecting Your Nest with Dr. Tony Hampton. Joining Dr. Hampton on the show all the way from the Netherlands today is Arnout Orelio. Arnout is the author of Lean Thinking for Emerging Healthcare Leaders: How to Develop Yourself and Implement Process Improvements. Having a background in engineering, Arnout realized that his expertise in creating and improving systems was desperately needed in health care.

The structure of the discussion in this episode follows the layout of Arnout’s book and consists of the following topics: why it is important to always be aiming for perfection, how to avoid wasting resources on solving superficial problems in your system, what it means to approach goals and systems with a LEAN mindset (95% of all problems are caused by systems, not people), the importance of making your problems visible for all to see, the difference between visibility and accessibility, why systems are constantly in need of improvement, and why it is essential to have a coach to help you achieve your goals.
