Value Stream Mapping

Enterprise Value Stream Mapping is a lean tool that provides full systems perspective capturing all end-to-end system processes for review and analysis identifying root causes of inefficiencies and waste in the processes.

In a healthcare system, there are multiple processes from the time patient is registered to the time patient leaves. The focus of value stream mapping exercise is to review current processes and identify improvements to reduce cycle time and reduce waste from the system therefore better meeting patient needs.

Objectives of this course:

Build the patient-centric Value Stream Map: Current State and the Future State Plan;
Identify responsibilities of the Value Stream Leader;
Describe cross-functional teams and their role in building value stream map.

Now more than ever, the pressure is on to provide high-quality care while increasing efficiency and reducing costs. If you are looking for ways to heal health care from within, Lean could be your answer. Armed with Lean tools and techniques, your frontline staff can identify waste in their health care delivery processes and then reduce or eliminate that waste.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

All healthcare professional (for example, medical students, physicians, medical office and hospital administration staff, executives, nurses, industrial/management engineers, pharmaceutical companies staff, laboratories and specialized health care services staff, clinical staff) and all others people who are interested in applying Lean methodology to a health care system.
