Lean principles, originally rooted in manufacturing, have a profound impact when adapted to the complexities of healthcare. Unlike the predictability of an assembly line, healthcare involves significant variability due to differences in patients and procedures. This makes the implementation of Lean processes even more critical. By effectively controlling what can be controlled, Lean helps mitigate the uncertainties inherent in healthcare.

This 4.5-day intensive course provides a comprehensive introduction to Lean principles and tools, specifically tailored for the healthcare setting. Participants will learn how to apply these techniques to streamline operations, reduce inefficiencies, and enhance patient care. A key feature of the course is an interactive patient care simulation, where learners will practice these skills in a controlled environment. This hands-on experience will demonstrate how reducing chaos and eliminating wasted time can significantly increase the time available for direct patient care, ultimately leading to improved outcomes and greater organizational efficiency.
