I have made it a habit to listen more carefully to those who have actually been successful doing what they teach. Rick Morrow has the track record to back up the methodology suggested in his book. To the degree that it is theory, it is theory tested and proven on the front lines. He is a veteran in the ongoing ware to improve the patient experience, reduce waste and enhance quality of the care we provide. As such, he is worth listening to. Take the time to read his book. It will be time well invested.-Terry Howell, Ed.D., Chief Quality Officer, Hennepin County Medical Center
