Description | Introduction to LEAN Thinking: There is a popular misconception that LEAN is appropriate only for manufacturing and production-oriented enterprises. This is a false belief that it doesn’t have a natural home in service industries or, particularly, in healthcare settings. LEAN, when properly explained and introduced into any organisation, enables a way of thinking and acting that is focused on maximising value to the ultimate end user (in the case of healthcare, the patient) whilst minimising wasteful practices in doing so. A lean organisation understands that end-user value proposition and focuses its key processes to continuously improve it. Lean is about establishing what is valuable for the patient and then optimising all value creating processes by cutting out waste and smoothing out unevenness in processes so that the service flows smoothly. All achieved through some very simple and very effective changes to the way things are done within the environment in which staff and patients interact. To busy Doctors this can equate to saved time. |
Additional information | Human Factors Human Factors (often referred to as ergonomics) is an established scientific discipline used in many safety-critical industries. Human Factors approaches underpin current patient safety and quality improvement science, offering an integrated, evidenced and coherent approach to patient safety, quality improvement and clinical excellence. Using simple systems approaches and techniques drawn from LEAN & other Continuous Improvement (CI) Practices, clinicians can examine their own practices and those of their teams and put in place checking mechanisms that minimise the risk of human error creeping into their interactions with patients… and with each other. You will be aware of human factors but here we will explore integrating it into a continuous improvement and lean culture. Continuous Improvement Continuous Improvement, often known as Kaizen is, as the name suggests, a practice of constantly re-examining and improving our value-adding processes – so those processes that run directly to the patient – with the intention of refining such processes over a period of time, to positively impact on the:
The Lean Thinking Programme is delivered over two, half-day, sessions, with a total contact time of approx. eight hours. It will be delivered by virtual facilitator-led learning, with input from the facilitator, time for personal reflection, and virtual break out groups so you can discuss the practical application with fellow Doctors. We will also watch videos to deepen our learning experience.
