Improving healthcare using Lean processes.
For more than a decade, healthcare organizations across Canada have been using Lean management tools to improve care processes, reduce preventable adverse events, increase patient satisfaction and create better work environments. The largest system-wide effort in Canada, and perhaps anywhere, is currently under way in Saskatchewan. The jury is still out on whether Lean efforts in that province,...
متن کاملDiscrete-event Simulation of Lean Construction Processes
Little work has been done to date in formally modeling concepts of lean construction, such as uncertainty, waste, flow, conversion, and push vs. pull techniques. This lack of formalization has been blamed in part on the inability of the project-management tools commonly used in industry to describe the construction process and its salient features at a level at which lean production can be stud...
متن کاملSimLean: Utilising simulation in the implementation of lean in healthcare
Discrete-event simulation (DES) and lean are approaches that have a similar motivation: improvement of processes and service delivery. Both are being used to help improve the delivery of healthcare, but rarely are they used together. This paper explores from a theoretical and an empirical perspective the potential complementary roles of DES and lean in healthcare. The aim is to increase the imp...
متن کاملSimulation as a high stakes assessment tool in emergency medicine
The Australasian College for Emergency Medicine (ACEM) will introduce high stakes simulation-based summative assessment in the form of Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) into the Fellowship Examination from 2015. Miller's model emphasises that, no matter how realistic the simulation, it is still a simulation and examinees do not necessarily behave as in real life. OSCEs are suit...
