  • Patients are growing older and iller while healthcare is becoming more expensive, technical and complicated.
  • Focused standardized approach to improvement.
  • Identify and eliminate waste.
  • Unleash the true potential of your team to deliver quality of service to your customers.

The answer to succeed in this challenging environment and strengthening patient-physician relationships while maintaining financial prosperity is the successful implementation of Lean Healthcare principles.

  • Waste of Over Production refers to tasks that do not add value such as ordering multiple referrals for the same problem or prescribing antibiotics for a viral infection.
  • Waste of Waiting refers to any delays or idle time involving the patient, physician or staff, such as waiting for patients, information, materials, and decisions or not having lab results available at the time of the visit.

  • Waste of Inventory involves any information or materials waiting to be used, such as a stock exceeding shelf life or stack of unread laboratory reports or piles of patient booklets sitting in the waiting area.
  • Waste of Motion refers to any unnecessary and inefficient placement of patients, staff or physicians.
