Abstract

LEAN was identified as a viable and sustainable solution for the growing cost, quality, and efficiency challenges faced by healthcare leaders. Despite its intent, many institutions say it is unsustainable and ineffectual. This study reveals the influence of nurse managers in actualizing a system transformation of this magnitude.
