Closing thought:  Sister Marie Jean Ryan – Harm [due to broken processes] is avoidable and we have a moral obligation to prevent it in our healthcare delivery system.  A dollar wasted or a life harmed or lost is a tragedy.  Be more than a plant manager, but a mission-driven entrepreneurial innovator that designs a system that serves patients.
