Description
Lean Healthcare is recognised for its effectiveness as much in the reduction of workload as of waste and as a consequence, costs within healthcare facilities.
This course enables healthcare centre staff to acquire expertise which allows them to reduce the delays involved in the provision of care such as time spent in the waiting room before being taken in charge by a doctor or a nurse and to improve the efficiency of the various processes while maximising the quality of services offered.
At the end of this course, participants will understand the basic principles of Lean thinking so that they are able to undertake continuous-improvement projects both actively and effectively inn their own healthcare Center.
