Anna, Thank you for sharing Dr. Berwick's address to the Yale School of Medicine graduating class. It is so incredible relevant to the implementation of Lean Healthcare to consider one of the other values of medical care to the patient, and that is the opportunity for intimate family contact during end of life. I had a relative who avoided Doctors and medical care because of one incredibly callous comment by one Doctor. We are all human, and need to consider the impact of our actions on others. What an important message.
