Lean is a management philosophy that focuses on improving processes. Lean
management principles have been used effectively in manufacturing companies for
decades. With the rapidly changing dynamics of the healthcare industry, lean
principles can be applied to healthcare with a positive impact on safety,
quality, efficiency, cost, and timely delivery of care.
Every day in
healthcare, each of us participates in multiple, complex processes to care for
our kids, accomplish our tasks and provide value to the customer or patient.
Waste in a variety of forms (time, supplies, patient waiting, etc.) decreases
value for our patients and the organization.
Lean is about making the
right work easier to do... it is not just another initiative for Children's
National. Lean is part of our ongoing journey to continuously improve the
quality, safety and experience of care in a culture centered around the patient
and family. It involves a continuous learning environment and engaging you - the
Power of One.
