Process Improvement: Deploying the Principles of Lean Production to Healthcare
Saturday, April 4, 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Charles Noon, PhD
Joseph Crane, MD, MBA
Keith Leitner, MS
This workshop provides a hands-on approach to understanding and deploying Lean principles in healthcare.
It will begin with a hands-on simulation of an Emergency Department to demonstrate why traditional improvement approaches have only limited success. After introducing LEAN principles, the simulation will be revisited and the participants will utilize a basic set of Lean Tools to eliminate waste and improve flow. Although this will indeed result in an improved system, it will also highlight aspects of healthcare that require special attention and analysis in order to gain even greater improvements. Additional Lean principles will then be introduced and mapped into the simulation. The workshop will be conducted by a university-based faculty team with experience in teaching and deploying Lean Healthcare in the U.S., Canada, and Europe and will:

James Sorace, MD, MS
Charlene Underwood, MBA, FHIMSS
It is time to transform your practice from paper to the electronic record. If you are beginning to think about, have begun planning for, or are in the process of implementing an electronic health record (EHR) system, then consider how you will communicate electronically--with your business partners, labs, e-prescribing, and ultimately with your patients. In fact, having automated electronic connections from your EHR to the pharmacy, lab, radiology, other physician practices, and hospital systems will allow your practice to pay off your investment even faster. This workshop will enhance your understanding of the value of these electronic connections, also known as interoperability, and their effect on efficiency and quality of care, leading to improvements in your patients' care experience and health outcomes.
During this workshop, you will learn what interoperability means and what you need to consider when working with your EHR vendor, business partners, and within your organizati
