The healthcare sector plays an important role in everyone's life: birth and death, and everything we experience in between those two moments in terms of illness, accidents or wishes related to our physical or psyche. There are many positives to report in the sector, such as that we are seeing better and better survival rates for cancer, for example, but there are also quite a few challenges: staff shortages, pandemics, funding issues et cetera. Since 2000, Lean has been on the radar in healthcare, and many healthcare facilities have had good experiences, and patients and all of us benefit from that: we see shorter wait times and turnaround times and are less likely to get sick.

Lean is a way of improving processes. The goal is to help customers as well as possible at the lowest possible effort and cost. Of course, you are a customer yourself and you want to be helped as well as possible, whether in the hospital, in the supermarket or when ordering something online. With Lean you look at how you can deliver your service or product to your customer as smartly as possible, in the shortest possible time. When we talk about Lean, we often talk about the different Lean principles, Lean methods and Lean techniques with which you can improve processes and thus your work. For more information on what is Lean, read the full article here.
A Lean transformation is a tilt of the entire organization from the current to desired future situation. Using Lean , the organization is redesigned. Customer, customer value and continuous improvement become the common thread throughout the organization. A Lean transformation requires learning a new way of thinking and acting. This way is not characterized by implementing a series of steps or solutions, but by addressing key questions about purpose, process and people. The video below from our Lean Global Network describes the Lean Transformation Model, narrated by Lean veteran John Shook.
