The visualization feature of Lean daily management Kanban is a good solution to this problem.
02Emphasize real-time inventory
Hospitals need to develop a conceptual model for lean improvement, which is a rapid cycle of experimentation to find problem areas and ultimately improve processes and transform departments.
03Remove waste, unevenness and ambiguity
The 3P's approach and value stream mapping are very effective in reducing waste in hospitals. 3P's is an acronym for Production, Preparation, and Process, and the most important idea is that teams working together to create a process that meets the needs of the patient are often more effective in reducing waste than those that meet the internal needs of the organization. The most important idea is that teams working together to create processes that are designed to meet the needs of patients tend to reduce waste more than those designed to meet the internal needs of the organization. Value stream mapping is a way of visually documenting the flow of patient care and information.
04Repeat the why five times
Only when employees understand the "why" behind the "what" and try to figure out the "how" multiple times can they develop a critical attitude. At the same time, this approach will also stimulate the potential for continuous improvement, and in the process of continuous problem solving, better solutions will always emerge.
05 Developing Automation Habits
Hospitals should consider a lean daily management system as the most basic tool or methodology. One of the key roles of a lean daily management system is in habit formation. Through a formal Lean Daily Management training program, daily practices, and coaching, it will be easier for an organization's employees to turn new tasks, ways of thinking, or jobs into habits.
