The key takeaways are that Lean is a systematic process improvement strategy focused on maximizing customer value while minimizing waste. It aims to simultaneously improve safety, quality, cost, delivery and morale. Gemba walks involve going to see the actual work being done to understand processes better and involve frontline staff in continuous improvement.

Gemba walks involve leaders visiting the actual work areas to observe processes, ask questions and show respect for frontline staff. Gemba boards help facilitate these walks and are used to track daily performance measures and idea tickets from staff to improve processes. They align the organization to strategic priorities.

Some examples of performance highlights mentioned are M5 unit going 98 days without a fall, reducing incidental overtime by over 50% hours, increasing HCAHPS scores from 40% to 90%, increasing on-time dialysis starts over 80%, and increasing foley removal and decreasing device utilization.
