The University of Chicago Medicine — New Hospital Pavilion Tour

Using lean concepts to improve patient experience

Set to open in January 2013, the new hospital pavilion will serve as the core of The University of Chicago Medicine campus. The futuristic facility will foster collaboration and interaction among clinicians and staff to actively engage patients and families in their care. Using 3P kaizen events, the team crafted a detailed model of care outlining the patient experience on the floors. When the transition to the new hospital pavilion occurs, the right processes and flow will be in place.

This tour will show you what it takes to make a world-class medical facility.
