    Pre-Summit Masterclass II: Beyond Lean Tools and Projects for Healthcare

    Synopsis

    Many healthcare organisations introduce Lean thinking concepts and tools in the form of projects. These projects feel like yet another thing to learn about and include in our already busy work day. This masterclass will explore the use of Lean Thinking and Practice as a management or operating system, providing a framework for creating stability in work areas, deploying and meeting important team level metrics that link to organisational goals, and addressing problems that occur on a daily basis. Daily management systems ensure that the value stream improvement sustains beyond the life of the project and ensure that precious project resources were not wasted.

    Course Outline

    • Key concepts of Lean healthcare

    • What is a Lean Management System and what you would expect to see in an organisation where a mature system exists
    • Importance of a Lean Management System in healthcare
    • Thinking, practices and tools that comprise a Lean Management System
    • Steps for designing and implementing a Lean Management System suitable for healthcare across an organisation

     

    Learning Outcomes

    Through instruction, discussions, practical exercises, simulations and application to your own work setting, participants will:

    • Understand the key concepts of Lean healthcare
    • Learn the concept and value of a Lean Management System
    • Understand the central components within a Lean Management System
    • Acquire important Lean tools that support a Lean Management System
    • Be able to directly apply the concepts to their work own organisations / teams.
