  • “Addicted to the status quo” — How does this idea apply to leaders?
  • “A conservative 30-50% of every step in the mental healthcare process does not help patients feel better or stay better”??
  • Motivations for Lean then and there?
  • Sunil: hearing about quality & safety problems?
    • How did you approach transformation / Lean in the Mental Healthcare setting?
  • 1 in 5 Americans experience a “mental illness” each year — which is most common? How many people don't get access to the right treatment?
