In a better place than we were before

Presentation Code: VS4-05

Value Stream: VS4 - Lean Beyond Manufacturing

Day & Time: Wednesday, Oct 17, 2012 - 9:30 AM

Length: 1 hour, 10 minutes

In 2008, St. Boniface Hospital began exploring lean methodology and strategies to see how they could accelerate improvement in patient care. The hospital gradually began to introduce lean methodology to 1) improve health care processes, 2) reduce waste, 3) make better use of human and financial resources, 4) reduce costs and 5) increase patient satisfaction and staff engagement. The journey has not been without its struggles, but St. Boniface can now identify and use data to drive decisions and monitor progress, recover from setbacks and sustain improvements. And they have seen results: 1) patients are now exposed to less risk and recover more quickly, 2) satisfaction rates are higher in the areas touched by transformative work, 3) staff is more engaged and 4) the hospital is achieving savings related to supply chain, staffing costs and length of stay. Lean transformation in health care is possible. This presentation will show you how.

In this presentation:

  • Hear how lean can work in a health care setting.
  • Find out how consultants helped St. Boniface Hospital implement lean.
  • Learn how the hospital used lean to reduce waste and improve patient care.
  • Hear about the benefits they gained from using lean.
  • Find out how the hospital's lean journey is one of continuous improvement.
  • Take away lessons about applying lean in non-traditional environments.
