Overview
Lean is a process improvement methodology that began in the manufacturing industry and is now being used at some healthcare facilities. Lean focuses on reducing waste in processes, improving efficiency, and focusing on what is valuable to the patient with regard to care while eliminating steps that do not add value. Lean practitioners are common on the front line and other levels of the organization. They involve all stakeholders, communicate widely, analyze a process, test solutions, and implement changes to solve problems.
Goals and Learning Outcomes
- Discuss the history and philosophy of Lean.
- Define the concepts of ideal, observation, waste, and the four rules for a Lean process.
- Discuss the importance of studying work processes as they actually occur rather than as they are thought to occur.
