Lean-Flow for Health Care


What you will learn

Based on the key concepts of multiple Process Management Systems, Lean-Flow health care shows how to fundamentally restructure organizations and effectively balance costs, quality, and patient access to excellent care. Lean-Flow focuses on eliminating wasteful activities that contribute to cost but provide no real value to the patient, and also simplifies complex processes. Instead of traditional cost-cutting strategies which target reductions in value-added areas (people, equipment, hospital beds, services, etc.) Because non-value added activities comprise 99% of health care costs, opportunities are everywhere.

By applying Lean-Flow principles, Health care systems can increase profits by serving more people at less cost. Typical benefits include:

  • More people-patients served means better utilization of assets and resources such as expensive technology-equipment, skilled medical personnel, and hospital beds.
  • Documentation and billing processes are improved.
  • Patient satisfaction improves.
  • Streamlined admissions.
  • Shorter office visits; less waiting.
  • Next day appointments (mammograms, out patient surgery, etc.).
  • Reduced errors or delays in testing and treatment.
