Improving Wait Times to Care for Individuals with Multimorbidities and Complex Conditions Using Value Stream Mapping
Background Recognizing the significant impact of wait times for care for individuals with complex chronic conditions, we applied a LEAN methodology, namely – an adaptation of Value Stream Mapping (VSM) to meet the needs of people with multiple chronic conditions and to improve wait times without additional resources or funding. Methods Over an 18-month time period, staff applied a patient-cen...
متن کاملTurning data into meaningful information.
The Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) launched the Wait Time Strategy in 2004 to improve access to healthcare by reducing the wait times for procedures and treatments. A fundamental component of the strategy was the development of the Wait Time Information System (WTIS). On behalf of the MOHLTC, Cancer Care Ontario (CCO) delivered the first electronic application used by ho...
متن کاملَA Multi-objective simulated annealing algorithm to solving flexible no-wait flowshop scheduling problems with transportation times
This paper deals with a bi-objective hybrid no-wait flowshop scheduling problem minimizing the makespan and total weighted tardiness, in which we consider transportation times between stages. Obtaining an optimal solution for this type of complex, large-sized problem in reasonable computational time by using traditional approaches and optimization tools is extremely difficult. This paper presen...
متن کاملCan increasing the number of excitations (NEX) in late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging prove beneficial in patients who can not hold their breath for the duration of the scan time?
Background It is imperative that patients hold their breath for Cardiac MRI imaging. Parallel imaging can be implemented on steady state free precession (SSFP) imaging to reduce scan time. However, for LGE imaging parallel imaging is not available. Manipulation of other parameters such as matrix, views per segment can be utilized but scan times are still too long for patients that cannot hold t...
متن کاملPatient Flow Analysis in General Hospitals: How Clinical Disciplines Affect Outpatient Wait Times
Background: Overcrowding is an important problem for outpatient services in healthcare facilities. Patient flow analysis (PFA) is a useful method for identifying inefficiencies in and facilitating patient flow. Objective: PFA was used to estimate patient wait time and determine how different clinical disciplines impact wait times in the studied hospital.<...
