Book Review: Do More With Less – By Prakash Gadgil

“Do More With Less” is a practical and refreshing guide for anyone running a nursing home or small hospital. Prakash Gadgil brings more than 25 years of hands-on experience in healthcare quality and Kaizen, and he presents it in a way that is simple, direct, and immediately usable.

The book explains how small hospitals can build the right culture, improve teamwork, and reduce everyday chaos. What makes this book special is its simplicity. Every chapter offers clear steps, real-life examples, and small habits that staff can start using the same day. There is no theory for the sake of theory. Everything is practical and focused on results.

The Infratech-4M model (Man, Machine, Method, Measurement) is explained in a way that even first-time readers can understand. The sections on time management, two-minute rule, 5S, Kaizen, SOP writing, and leadership are especially valuable for hospital settings. Readers will also appreciate the QR codes that link to demonstration videos, making the book both interactive and easy to implement.

This book is ideal for nursing home owners, medical consultants, quality managers, and hospital staff. It helps organisations reduce wastage, improve efficiency, build patient trust, and create a happier working environment.

Overall, “Do More With Less” is a must-read for any healthcare team that wants to improve performance without increasing cost. It is simple, practical, and truly written from the heart of someone who understands how small hospitals work.
