This workshop provides a hands-on approach to understanding and deploying Lean principles in healthcare. It will begin with a hands-on simulation of an Emergency Department to demonstrate why traditional improvement approaches have only limited success. After introducing Lean principles, the simulation will be revisited and the participants will utilize a basic set of Lean Tools to eliminate waste and improve flow. Although this will indeed result in an improved system, it will also highlight aspects of healthcare that require special attention and analysis in order to gain even greater improvements. Additional Lean principles will then be introduced and mapped into the simulation. The workshop will be conducted by a university-based faculty team with experience in teaching and deploying Lean Healthcare in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Participants should wear comfortable shoes for walking.
** Limited to 50 participants.

IT Professionals in healthcare can encounter problems where accepted wisdom about the value of IT is often inadequate to produce stakeholder buy-in for deployment of technology tools. This can lead to frustration, lack of job satisfaction, and poor results. It is important for IT professionals to learn about the broader health policy context in which they must operate so they can better understand the root causes for some of the challenges they encounter from various stakeholders. At the same time, they must develop leadership and change management skills that will allow them to overcome these challenges and bring the benefits of information technology to a field that can benefit greatly from what IT has to offer.
