A growing, aging population; the rise to epidemic proportions of
various chronic diseases; competing, often overlapping medical
technologies; and of course, skyrocketing costs compounded by waste
and inefficiency - these are just a few of the multifarious
challenges currently facing healthcare delivery. An unexpected
source of solutions is being imported from the manufacturing
sector: lean thinking. Lean Principles for Healthcare presents a
conceptual framework, management principles, and practical tools
for professionals tasked with designing and implementing modern,
streamlined healthcare systems or overhauling faulty ones. Focusing
on core components such as knowledge management, e-health,
patient-centeredness, and collaborative care, chapters illustrate
lean concepts in action across specialties (as diverse as nursing,
urology, and emergency care) and around the globe. Extended case
examples show health systems responding to consumer needs and
provider realities with equal efficiency and effectiveness, and
improved quality and patient outcomes. Further, contributors tackle
the gamut of technological, medical, cultural, and business issues,
among them: Initiatives of service-oriented architecture towards
performance improvement Adapted lean thinking for emergency
departments Lean thinking in dementia care through smart assistive
technology Supporting preventive healthcare with persuasive
services Value stream mapping for lean healthcare A technology
mediated solution to reduce healthcare disparities Geared toward
both how lean ideas can be carried out and how they are being used
successfully in the real world, Lean Principles for Healthcare not
only brings expert knowledge to healthcare managers and health
services researchers but to all who have an interest in superior
healthcare delivery.
