Learning Objectives:
1. To help diagnostic imaging professionals understand the magnitude of errors that occur in hospitals and
the resultant unwarranted deaths and complications that result therefrom.
2. To introduce the concepts of modern manufacturing beginning with the introduction of the automobile
around 1900 and the transformation fi rst to mass production (Ford motor company) and then to modern
manufacturing (Toyota).
3. To briefl y show that these same concepts can be applied to hospitals to dramatically reduce the incidence
of unwanted complications and improve quality outcomes.
4. To encourage diagnostic radiologists to adopt these same methods to improve the quality of outcomes
resulting from diagnostic imaging procedures.
