LEAN WORKFLOW DESIGN

-
Do you need to lower costs by increasing workflow efficiency?
-
Does your hospital need standardized workflows?
-
Does your hospital have excess waste?
Challenge:
Long waits in the emergency room. Difficulty moving patients from the emergency room to the floor. Discharging takes hours and not minutes. Non-standard work- causing chaos and less than consistent care- is the result of broken processes.
Adopting a process improvement program that incorporates today's best practices is essential to meeting financial targets, performance goals, and a higher level of customer satisfaction and clinical outcomes.
Approach:
Our Healthcare Process Improvement projects address these concerns. We start with a proven standard approach and customize it to your organizational needs. E&A experts work with your staff to create standardized work with process improvement methodologies based on Lean, Six-Sigma and industry best practices emphasizing increased efficiency, decreased waste, and methods to decide what matters rather than accepting pre-existing practices. Our program creates sustainable changes that lead to improved metrics, more engaged and satisfied employees and a better, safer patient experience.
