Last week, I was honoured to be a panellist for the “๐๐-๐๐ ๐๐ถ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ช๐ต “๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ๐ต๐ฉ4๐๐ญ๐ญ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ ๐๐ช๐ฏ๐ข๐ฏ๐ค๐ช๐ฏ๐จ”, where I zoomed in on the benefits of #lean in Healthcare.
Our world economy is about $86 trillion US dollars. Assuming ๐ ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐% of this is allocated to healthcare, we will still be short of around $200 billion till 2030 to ensure #health4all globally (image worlddatabank). Lean for certain can help identify areas to improve in healthcare to reduce costs, but also to make better decisions that will benefit customers and employees.
Lean in health care is about ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ that patients and staff experience every day. Lean healthcare is a system of improvement that minimizes waste in every process, procedure, and task through an ongoing system of improvement. Using lean principles, all members of the organization continually strive to identify areas of waste and eliminate anything that does not add value for patients.
In order to reduce costs and add value to patients, members of the health industry have applied the principles of lean to find new solutions to the unsustainable growth of national health spending of ๐ฑ.๐ฑ% per year. One area of focus is to increase customer satisfaction and to make it profitable.
Eliminating waste at every level of an organization is fundamental to Lean principles. Because #leanthinking requires the buy-in of every member of an organization’s team in order to be successful, it is deeply embedded in culture, leading to innovation at all levels. By deploying Lean in health care, organizations improve patient satisfaction as patient-oriented decisions and processes become more common.
