Lean strategies in
healthcare
Some of
the Lean tools Perch and others healthcare leaders enjoy heightened efficiency
with include:
· Gemba, which involves immersing oneself within “the
scene” to see how professionals are delivering services and how those services
are being received.
· Observation, which is conducted in concert with
Gemba but also adds the element of documenting what’s going on to make a
comparative analysis.
· 5S organization, a tool for keeping things
orderly and organized to ensure professionals can do their jobs more
efficiently.
