Sample text
In his book, John Black characterized the Virginia Mason team’s response to the new direction as a mix of “energy, excitement, shock, and some skepticism. ” Whatever the individual’s point of view, the trip was intense in almost every way—physical, emotional, and intellectual. Ultimately what bound the group together was not wholehearted agreement on a point of view—that did not yet exist. What bound them together was the intensity of a unique shared experience. They had gone out to a frontier, pioneers with that western spirit, and they had searched for something new, something no one else in health care had attempted on a systemwide scale, never mind accomplished.
Word had filtered back that the notion of standard work was an essential element of the method and this deeply troubled many physicians. “It first came out that this was the new direction of the organization,” Govier says. “And it was all going to be about processes and standard work and people were not the same as cars but there were a tremendous amount of similarities. As a surgeon the last thing I wanted to hear about was standard work. ” Another essential element of the new method was creating a Kaizen Promotion Office (KPO) within Virginia Mason staffed by men and women who would achieve enough expertise in the system to be able to work throughout the medical center promoting and managing continuous improvement.
Within the medical center, however, there were many people more focused on criticism than discovery. A substantial number of physicians, nurses, and administrators—especially in middle management—found the whole direction alarming, and the detractors were hardly mindless in their opposition. These were intelligent people—many of them clinicians—who cared deeply not only for the well-being of their patients, but for the future of Virginia Mason. The doctors among them were, of course, scientists very much partial to evidence—to proof.
