Enhancing Patient Experience
Practical Approaches for improving patient experience and health outcomes.
Overview
With an ageing population, the intensity of care required by patients will increase. The question that all our healthcare organizations have is how do we meet the higher demands with the limited resources that we have? How do we deliver high quality of care and at the same time, ensuring accessibility and affordability for patients of the various sectors, ranging from primary care, acute care to the intermediate and long- term care (ILTC) services?
In this course, participants will understand the concept of Lean Thinking and how the implementation of Lean practices is able to transform waste into value for the patients, thus improving health outcomes. Participants will get insights into real world case studies on how doing more with existing resources could be achieved through examining various workflows in healthcare organizations.
This course covers the fundamental principles of Lean Thinking at an introductory level.
Course Objectives
At the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand Lean Thinking frameworks and concepts that assist in designing solutions to hospital operational functions. For example, using the knowledge of Lean Thinking to identify and differentiate value from waste in healthcare processes.
