The need for change in healthcare has never been more apparent than it is today. Healthcare is the country's largest industry, and is poised for exponential growth as baby boomers reach their sixties, yet external influences make it more and more difficult for hospitals to prosper.
Lean Hospitals specializes in lean implementation in the healthcare environment through the application of lean tools linked to and executed in support of the organization's strategic plan. Using lean principles, six sigma methodology, and detailed process analysis, Lean Hospitals improves operational performance, reduces costs, increases revenue, improves quality and develops a lean culture to ensure lasting results.
At Lean Hospitals we work exclusively with healthcare organizations to create flow through the value stream, helping senior executives improve operational performance and effectiveness. Our implementation methodology is based on the understanding that flow is created by developing standard work, making processes user-friendly and addressing any constraints within the value stream.
To this end, Lean Hospitals provides a wide variety of services. Included among these services are consulting, education, mentoring, and on-site facilitation of lean initiatives. In each of our engagements, Lean Hospitals works with the organization to ensure the transfer of knowledge and experience to the organization's staff to create a self sustaining lean culture.
The Lean principles derived from the Toyota Production System have been revolutionizing manufacturing and service industries in the United States and around the world for many years. These same principles which have been applied so successfully in manufacturing are providing the same benefits in healthcare. By focusing on the value added activities related to hospital processes, hospitals can reduce costs, improve quality, increase productivity, and enhance revenue.
Lean Hospitals will guide your organization in their Lean Transformation, by conducting training in the tools, principles and concepts of Lean Healthcare, facilitating lean improvement events, and educating and mentoring your employees in order to convey our knowledge and experience to them.
