Length: 1 hour, 10 minutes
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center's success stems from its commitment of empowering its employees to be Change Agents. This lets them provide patients with the right services, in the right quantity and at the right time, by rooting out Waste at every level and doing the right Value-Added activities. And it has made a tremendous difference. The successful application of Lean concepts is a market differentiator for Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) in Boston's highly competitive healthcare environment.
Because BIDMC was an early Lean healthcare pioneer, it was able to apply new thinking to its challenges, rather than be constrained by what other healthcare providers had done before. After studying companies that were deep into their Lean Journey, BIDMC noted a strong focus on leadership participation. BIDMC followed this lead and achieved great success. In fact, this key strategic focus on the development of administrative and medical Lean leaders was a game changer for the medical center. These leaders are now responsible for applying and teaching Lean principles to their teams and allowing BIDMC to take full advantage of the talent in its organization. As a result, BIDMC is now closer to its goal of everyone, everyday making small improvements.
In this presentation:
- Find out how being an early adopter of Lean in healthcare allowed BIDMC to be more innovative.
- Learn how problem solving and decision making has shifted in order to integrate Lean thinking into the way business is done.
- Hear how work is less burdensome for staff, patients are seen faster and have better experiences, and care is provided in a safer and more cost effective way.
- Find out how you can apply what you learn to your place of business.
