health care costs

As health care costs rising at a faster rate than other products or services, health care providers, particularly hospitals, are under constant pressure to dramatically improve service, reduce costs, improve patient safety
The waiting time and reducing errors and the related disputes.

However, hospitals are not making the necessary improvements in cost, quality and safety. A report by the U.S. HHS Office of the Inspector-General considers that 20% of the hospital stay successive sequences were associated with a poor quality of care, unnecessary fragmentation of care, or both. The current organization and management of hospitals is an imperfect system can not effectively address these problems. Large projects for the restructuring of hospitals, drastically reducing costs and improving customer service have little impact on the quality and cost.

In simplistic terms, the current health care systems are not designed to support the process or the 'value stream' of care flow smoothly. Healthcare services are often "batch and queue ', with patients receiving the bulk of their time waiting until he is ready Healthcare Professional versus push-pull. As the population matures, patient cycle times in the hospitals, post-care facilities and laboratories to important measurements to be improved.

Our conviction is that Lean Healthcare can provide a solution to successfully some of these concerns, but with minimal cost maximum benefit.
