Lean Health Care 100H with Simulation

See lean culture, concepts and tools at work in health care in this exciting, 1 day, hands-on health care simulation. The same lean concepts that reduce waste, increase revenue, and enhance productivity in a manufacturing setting can also be applied to health care to eliminate wasteful processes and create a more productive workplace. This introduction to lean health care will inspire you to begin implementing lean changes in your health care facility. Your team will benefit from the creative environment provided by the simulation and gain the confidence to begin applying lean techniques.

Participants will be led through multiple rounds of a simulated health care setting in which they will learn to apply lean concepts. Participants can begin applying what they learn immediately in their own work to achieve results. The simulation fosters an environment of creativity within teams and builds confidence to apply lean techniques.

Topics Covered Include:

Identify eight wastes in the health care environment
Understand the basic lean tools to eliminate the eight wastes
Apply lean tools: Value Stream Mappings, 5-S and visual controls, point-of-use storage, team concepts, cellular flow, and batch reduction.
Learn about lean culture.
Be able to immediately begin implementing lean in your workplace
