We have been dealing with healthcare institutions for almost ten years now, working at all levels within the organizations to solve problems, redesign and reorganize and improve operational performance. A few examples:
-
A 13 hospital health system in the southern USA. We redesigned operating room flow, concentrating on turnaround time reduction, by optimizing supply chains, re-sequencing turn around activities and redesigning case cart setup, usage and teardown.
-
A 4 site health system in the northeastern USA. We analyzed both clinical and pathology laboratory workflows, redesigned them according to toyota production system principles and managed implementation of the changes to a stable system.
-
A 125 bed hospital in the midwestern USA. We analyzed and redesigned OP and IP processes to improve capacity management,quality and LOS. These improvements released $63m a year in previously consumed capacity.
-
An independent drug screening laboratory in the northeastern USA. We analyzed existing demand and capacity management strategies, introduced improvements to flow resulting in 35% extra capacity, designed a new laboratory layout and systems and project managed the move to the new laboratory facility.
-
A large, urban hospital system in NYC. We analyzed biomedical engineering issues around incubator availability. Redesigning this resulted in significant capital savings.
