Delayed transfer of care can seriously reduce the overall capacity of an organisation, as well as affecting patient safety and experience.
Understanding demand and capacity is one aspect of Lean that can help, but the systematic use of Value Stream Analysis to understand and redesign a pathway is the way forward. Obviously success depends on having the right people available, and that means people from different organisations, and you will rely heavily on the World Class Commissioning competences that dominate relationships with clinicians, partners and the public to be truly successful.
Our Value Stream Analysis experience is extensive and covers improvements within both individual organisations and across entire health economies. For more information, call us today on 0870-446-1002.
