Tens of thousands of patients die unnecessarily every year as a
result of errors and defects in our healthcare processes. Those
that survive often pay too much for the privilege. The value stream
mapping methods described in Mapping Clinical Value Streams will
help you achieve more efficient health care processes and will pave
the way to an improved medical system with significantly reduced
medical errors and other costly waste. Part of the Lean Tools in
Healthcare series, this user-friendly book will help you understand
how to use value stream mapping to provide quality,
patient-centered care. Value stream mapping is a powerful tool for
observing and depicting processes as they truly are-and for
envisioning and reconfiguring the same processes to eliminate
errors and other waste. With this book, you'll learn how to: Map
current-state processes Create a future-state map with processes
streamlined through "flow" and "pull" Manage the rollout of your
future state with "A3" project plans Presented in a highly
organized and easy-to-assimilate format, the book includes examples
from actual healthcare processes, plus numerous illustrations and
margin assists that call your attention to key points. Value stream
mapping icons make it easy to see and understand the ebb and flow
of healthcare processes. Each chapter also includes a summary for
quick review. Throughout the book you will be asked to reflect on
questions that will help you apply these concepts and techniques to
your own workplace. To be competitive in today's marketplace, you
cannot afford to leave processes unexamined, or let them become
haphazard. You must apply conscious, quality attention to
continuously see and fix your healthcare processes. In Mapping
Clinical Value Streams, Shingo Prize-winning author Thomas L.
Jackson shows you how.
