Quick Changeover for Health Care

How long does it take to change an OR room from patient A to patient B? Are you waiting for patient rooms to be cleaned before the next patient can be admitted?

Set-up reduction is based upon on the principles within the Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED) system, developed by Shigeo Shingo, to dramatically reduce or eliminate changeover time from one patient to the next. The changeover improvement process is used to help companies design no/low-cost solutions to reduce changeover time, whether it is an OR room, a patient room, or a piece of equipment. This resulted reduction in time allows the health care provider to meet customer demands more easily.
