Description
This panel presentation will discuss how the lean process adopted by the U.S. Air Force and the auto industry can be successfully applied to the health care setting, resulting in improved facility design, efficient workflow, and desired patient outcomes. Case studies will be used to demonstrate real-world applications of lean design and the cost savings this approach yields. This session will enable you to-
• Determine through case study review how the adoption of lean strategies can positively affect patient care.
• Identify through case study review areas in the facility with the greatest potential for improved efficiencies that can contribute to lifting the bottom line.
• Discuss, using a review of case studies presented, methods that can be applied to update existing areas in a health care facility to better meet the needs of patients and health care providers.
• List three innovative strategies, as demonstrated in case studies, for adapting the principles presented to other projects and scenarios.

LEARNER OUTCOMES:
- Create higher standards for patient safety and quality of care with lean and evidenced based design techniques.
- Evaluate which departments and processes in a facility would respond most effectively to lean design.
- Identify how to incorporate lean process strategies into your facility to improve caregiver and staff morale.
- Utilize the most cost effective approaches to savings and implement continuous facility improvement.
