Lean-Led Hospital Design: Creating the Efficient Hospital of the Future explores the application of Lean principles in the planning, design, construction, and management of hospital facilities. The book explains that successful healthcare delivery depends not only on medical professionals and technology but also on building design, spatial organization, workflows, and the physical hospital environment.

Naida Grunden and Charles Hagood introduce a Lean-led hospital design approach that integrates facility design with healthcare process design. This approach aims to create an environment that supports patient safety, improves healthcare staff efficiency, reduces waste in space and resources, and enhances patient flow.

The book examines the differences between traditional hospital design and Lean-led design, Lean planning models, standardization that supports flexibility, collaboration among healthcare professionals, architects, engineers, and hospital executives, as well as the use of technology in healthcare facility design.

The authors also present examples from eight real healthcare facility design and construction projects, supported by interviews with hospital leaders and architects. These examples demonstrate how Lean principles can be applied from the initial planning stages through construction and facility utilization.

This book is particularly relevant to hospital executives, healthcare facility managers, hospital architects, healthcare planners, engineers, hospital management consultants, and academics interested in hospital administration and healthcare facility design.
