Lean Healthcare

Transforming Processes to Deliver Patient Value

Corporate classes available: Please call or Email

Lean Healthcare RSVP

Overview

The goal of Lean is to eliminate waste in a system so that system can deliver more value to its customers (patients). There’s arguably no industry in which this methodology is more applicable and valuable than in healthcare.

Patients sometimes wait weeks for needed clinic appointments. Inconsistencies in the verification of insurance can result multi-months delays in adding new providers. Variation in procedure times between surgeons causes underutilization in the OR. And, the inability to accurately measure performance can perpetuate problems like these indefinitely.

The Lean methodology is tailor made to address today’s operational challenges. Lean provides your team with tools that highlight the sources of process inefficiency, data collection techniques to quantify the magnitude of opportunities, and a problem-solving that methodology promotes engagement and data-driven decision making in any healthcare organization, regardless of size or specialty.

This seminar will utilize a real world health care example (MRI Utilization at a Children’s Hospital) to demonstrate the fundamentals of Lean Healthcare and provide a framework you can adapt in your healthcare organization.

Learn How To:

  • Leverage Lean as a means to increase both efficiency and revenue
  • Enhance your staff’s understanding of what the patient values in the healthcare experience
  • Identify sources of waste in your processes and systems
  • Eliminate the root causes of delays, wasted resources and rework
  • Generate analytical and out-of-the-box solutions
  • Measure the unmeasurable
  • Identify process improvement opportunities that will have the most impact for your patients and your facility’s bottom line
