Jansz, Robert, Per Olofsson, and Malin Johansson. "Lean inom sjukvården." Thesis, University of Gävle, Department of Technology and Built Environment, 2008. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hig:diva-659.
Full textDet är uppenbart för alla inom sjukvården i Gävle att de ligger på gränsen till vad de kan hantera. Landstingen bestämmer inte bara vad sjukvården skall producera, utan även vad det får kosta. Det går ibland inte ihop, vilket föder frustration och vanmakt hos berörda avdelningar och personal. Behovet av sjukvård kommer troligen att öka ytterligare i framtiden, och vi verkar ha kommit till vägens ände vad gäller nuvarande arbetssätt. Syfte och mål med detta examensarbete är att genomföra en förstudie till att implementera och arbeta med lean på Gävle sjukhus och ortopedavdelningen. Arbetet innefattar även att ta fram en generell arbetsmodell för att analysera och förbättra flöden inom sjukvården utifrån ett lean perspektiv. Examensarbetets olika moment har styrts utifrån gruppen framtagna modell. Nedan sammanfattas vilka moment som ingått i varje steg.
1) Samla kunskap om lean: Första steget i arbetsmodellen handlar hur inlärning av lean i form av faktainsamling, litteraturstudier, föreläsningar och utbildning sker.
2) Kartläggning av flödet: Andra steget behandlar kartläggning av det aktuella flödet från att patienten skadas i hemmet till att denna är färdigbehandlad. Vidare har intervjuer och observationer gjorts hos de olika avdelningarna inblandade i flödet parallellt med dokumentering.
3) Analys av flödet i ett lean och kvalitetsperspektiv: Tredje steget innebär att en göra en analys av flödet med hjälp av olika metoder och verktyg inom lean.
4) Förbättringsförslag: Fjärde steget innebär att med hjälp av analysen skapa förbättringsförslag på de problem organisationen identifierat i flödet.
5) Implementering/Uppföljning: I sista steget handlar om hur en organisation inför förbättringsförslagen genom att informera och utbilda berörd personal.
Några av de problem som upptäcktes under förstudien var långa väntetider till operation, överbeläggningar, dubbelarbete, bristande rutiner och kommunikation mellan avdelningarna. Efter insamlad information och sammanställning av intervjuer och problemformuleringar har gruppen kommit fram till en rad förbättringsförslag som anses relevanta vid implementering av lean.
De olika lean och kvalitetsverktygen som gruppen främst har valt att jobba med är framtagna med hänsyn till de upptäckta problemen. Gruppens förslag till förbättringar inom det akuta höftflödet tror vi kommer förkorta vårdköerna, ge en mer kostnadseffektiv vård samt högre patient kvalitet. Lean har stor potential för sjukvården. Men att införa lean innebär inte enbart att införa en ny metod eller några verktyg. Det kräver en total förändring i synen på chefskap, på styrningen av sjukvården och på medarbetarnas roll. Förändringen sträcker sig ifrån högsta politiska nivå på landstingen till första linjens chefer som coachar sina team till dagliga förbättringar. Att införa lean är inte gjort i en handvändning, men det får inte hindra sjukvården ifrån att börja.

Full textThe Care in Sweden has long been characterized by long waiting lists and lack of resources. More and more hospitals and medical centers including Brahehälsan, the medical centre of Akka, Emergency room at the county hospital in Kalmar and Diagnostic Centre at the County Hospital in Kalmar choose to address these problems by using Lean Healthcare. This new model and the philosophy it is based on contributes to a new approach that is intended to result in more efficient care. Is the efficiency of health care the real reason or are there ulterior motives for introducing Lean Healthcare? In all change processes it is important to involve and have abroad its employees. Their motivation and acceptance of change by the organization in conjunction with the implementation of Lean Healthcare is critical to the outcome. How has this interaction been handled and how has this work gone to develop a working concept for each medical institution, that is, how is their anchoring- and implementation process. Have one noticed any difference when it comes to efficiency and quality during the work at respective hospitals and health care centers. The purpose of this study is to investigate the above issues and see if there is any difference between private and governmental health care facilities. The work intends to contribute to a better understanding of why Lean is implemented in health care and if the results meet expectations. The purpose of this study is accomplished through a case study in two health centers and two departments in a hospital and an interview with Prof. Håkan Aronsson. The studys data collection methodology is mainly based on qualitative interviews with people from respective hospitals and health centers. Analysis of empirical data is made towards theories of Lean, Kaizen, organizational change, new public management and motivation. In the analysis it is possible to deduce that some factors have been the basis reason to introduce lean and also affected the anchor- & implementation process. These motives affect the final result of the implementation. The choice of Lean Healthcare is mainly due to that it is in fashion. The anchoring process has taken place through communication and education. We have not been able to find evidence of any major differences in the Principals of the question except for a more thorough approach to the implementation at the private clinic. One factor that works with Lean Healthcare has helped with the employees' ability to identify change and implementing change. By enabling the implementation of staff changes has lead to a less stressful working environment. Consequently, Lean Healthcare results in higher efficiency and reduced stress at work. Lean Healthcare has shown to give good results in the implemented activities and the conditions for success in health care. But the work has just begun and for the entire operation to be considered to be steeped in "Lean" philosophy it is required a continued long-term effort and will to change.

Full textAtt införa lean principer inom sjukvården är ett relativt nytt område. Landstinget i Gävleborg och Gävle sjukhus är intresserade av att korta ner sina vårdköer med hjälp av logistiska metoder och lean production principer. Detta på grund av att vårdköerna på bland annat urologmottagningen på Gävle sjukhus bara växer. Lean production är ett koncept som ursprungligen härstammar från bilindustrin i Japan och innebär att man strävar efter att göra mer med mindre. På svenska kan lean production översättas till resurssnål produktion och arbetet med lean innefattar principer som kunden i fokus, teamarbete och ständiga förbättringar.
Syftet med examensarbetet är att ta fram en arbetsmodell för införande av lean principer inom sjukvården, då vårdköerna idag är långa och någon form av förändring är nödvändig. Arbetsmodellen innehåller sex olika nivåer, kartläggning, analys, framtagning av förbättringsförslag, avstämning, genomförande och uppföljning. De fyra första stegen kommer att presenteras i arbetet medans de två sista stegen ligger utanför arbetets ramar.
Genom att använda logistiska metoder och lean principer i kartläggningar och analyser av mottagningens processer har en del problemområden upptäckts. Problemen har sedan analyserats och förbättringsförslag till de olika områdena har utarbetats. Förbättringsförslagen som har utarbetats med hjälp av logistiska metoder och lean production principer bör kunna medverka till en minskning av urologmottagningens vårdköer.
Introducing lean production principles in health care is a relatively new area. The county council in Gävleborg and Gävle hospital are interested in shortening their health queues with help from logistics methods and lean production principles. This is among others because of growing health queues at the urologist reception in Gävle hospital. Lean production is a concept arising from the Japanese car industry, meaning a quest to do more with less. In Swedish lean production can be translated to resource- economic production and the work with lean production includes principles like customer focus, teamwork and continuous improvement.
The purpose with this thesis is to compile a working model which can be used when implementing lean principles in health care. This is because the health queues to the reception today are long and some kind of transform is necessary. The working model consists of six different levels, mapping, analyze, developing improvement suggestions, balancing, implementation and follow up. The first four steps in the working model will be introduced in this thesis, although the last two steps are outside the limits of this thesis.
By using logistics methods and lean principles in mapping and analysis of the receptions processes some problem areas have been discovered. The discovered problems have been analyzed and improvement suggestions to the different problem areas have then been elaborated. The improvement suggestions which have been elaborated with help from logistics methods and lean production principles can contribute to a decrease of the urologist receptions health queues.

Full textThe aging population and higher occurrence of chronic diseases today has healthcare facing a very high occupancy and limited resources. To meet rising demands, many healthcare institutions have adapted operational strategies traditionally used in more industrial settings such as Lean production. In this study, the value flow during emergency visits to the heart emergency at Danderyds hospital (Danderyds Sjukhus AB) was mapped and analysed through observations and interviews. The aim was to identify potential changes that might render a more efficient patient flow and improve the operations at a healthcare institution working in accordance with Lean healthcare. The findings from the study show that waste related to Transport, Motion, Waiting, Overproduction & Over processing, Defects, Confusion and People exists at the heart emergency. The most common source of waste is related to routines and compliance to them among the staff, all though some issues related to communication and workplace culture were also discovered. Our main suggestion is therefore to establish standardised routines that are easy to follow for the staff at the clinic, to make emergency visits and patient flow more efficient. The study and its findings can be seen as a general contribution to the discourse regarding Lean healthcare, value stream mapping and analysing. It can also be used by healthcare institutions similar to the case clinic, about to perform an analysis of the value stream.

Full textHälso- och sjukvården har höga krav som branschen har svårt att uppfylla. Logistik har fått en ökad betydelse inom sektorn och handlar i detta fall om att på kortast tid få en patient färdigbehandlad. Denna rapport tar fram logistiska förändringsprinciper som är framgångsrika i hälso- och sjukvården. En litteraturstudie visar att det finns ett antal logistiska förändringsprinciper och verktyg som med positivt resultat har anpassats till hälso- och sjukvården. Dessa är; Lean production, processorientering, flödesorientering, Time-based competition, Theory of Constraints, Supply chain management, Planering, Mål och mätmetoder, Patienten i fokus, Genombrott och Advanced access. Fallstudier visar att vårdenheter i de flesta fall inte arbetar med specifika förändringsprinciper utan metoder hämtade från flera principer. Många av dessa metoder återkommer i åtskilliga förändringsprinciper och de vanligaste metoderna som identifierats både i litteraturstudien och i fallstudien och därför anses vara framgångsrika är; eliminering av slöseri, standardiseringar, kartläggning av flöde eller process och samverkan inom den egna enheten. Dessa metoder kan härledas till principerna Lean production, processorientering och Genombrott. Viktigt att poängtera är att förändringsprinciperna måste anpassas till den specifika situationen och vårdenheten.

Full textAbstract Lean has received considerable attention in many different fields and in social media in recent years. The most discussed topic in the current situation is the implementation of Lean in the public sector and especially in health care. This has raised heated debates where people from different professions and ages have strongly differing views on the implementation. Some are very positive to introduce Lean in health care while others believe it has negative effects of the implementation. That there is so many different opinions regarding the topic and that so many people have different perspectives on how Lean works makes this very interesting to analyze. The purpose and goal of this report is to focus on the different perspectives and analyze them to see if there is any clear explanation to why these perspectives differ so much. It will also be analyzed what lies in the basis for this behavior and the factors that influence the different perspectives. Those who are in favor of Lean mean that it is easier for the staff to work when everything is structured and unnecessary wastage that create stress has been eliminated. Such a simple thing as having a special place for each object means that the staff does not have to run around and look for objects unnecessarily and will save their time that can be spent on other more value-creating factors. They argue that Lean makes work more effective in large extent and that the time before was put on unnecessary errands now can be added to give patients more attention and care. Many of the people who have a negative view of the introduction of Lean in health care mean among other things that Lean is a method for industries that can not be implemented among people in health care, that there is a trend that will soon be replaced with something else and that Lean was introduced to reduce resources and costs instead of benefiting staff and patients. The main conclusion that has been drawn in this report is that the introduction is usually the insufficient factor that makes many people have a negative view of the implementation of Lean. The introduction should be better adapted to health care to get all to perceive Lean in the "right" way from the beginning. Some of the sub-factors that are problematic in the introduction is that the name Lean associated too much with the industry, that incorrect information is mediated regarding the meaning of Lean and that the leaders are not sufficiently involved.

Full textIncreasing life expectancy, more expensive treatments and increased need of medical care puts pressure on the Swedish health care system. Lean provides a way to face these challenges and has been adopted on several major Swedish hospitals. Hospitals are hierarchical organizations that often harbour internal, autonomous groups. This creates additional challenge to Lean based methods, which demands collaboration and communication. This report examines the impact of these challenges with data from a case-study at the university hospital in Danderyd, Stockholm, Sweden.The report will, based on this study, identify differences in opinions about Lean between three different groups: management, physicians and nurses. The report concludes that both the understanding of and the attitude towards Lean differed between the groups. This has great impact on the performance of the Lean-project and, as a result, potential improvements are lost. Potential solutions include improved information dissemination, increased focus on nurses and increased engagement among staff.

Full textContext Health care have been criticized and questioned with increasing costs and where patients are being mismanaged. The health care is characterized by a bureaucratic functional organization with a strong profession. Several attempts have been made to streamline the health care where the latest trend is business process orientation. It has demonstrated great challenges of working with processes in health care and it is in the study's purpose to investigate how the health care worked to develop and implement the business process oriented approach. Purpose The study intends to contribute knowledge by concretize obstacles and opportunities of business process orientation for health care. The first part of the study will be to identify how different counties and regions worked to develop and implement business process orientation in health care organizations. The second part of the study is to analyze how the management control systems are used to support the business process oriented approach. Method A qualitative multiple-case design was applied as a method where three regions were selected as study objects from a standard choice. Qualitative interviews were applied as the primary data collection method. Conclusion The study demonstrates the relationship of existing business process oriented aspects, but on the other hand differences in working methods, management and monitoring. The study provides a clear picture of what is lacking today in health care current business process orientation, especially the financial monitoring from a more horizontal dimension.

Full textPurpose – The purpose of this study is to identify the challenges that may arise in the meal process at a hospital, and then develop approaches to address these. To fulfill the purpose of the study, the following question has been formulated: What challenges may arise in the meal process at a hospital? How can the challenges in the meal process at a hospital be managed? Methodology – An initial theoretical framework was established which has been pattern matched with the empirical data as the study progressed. A case study methodology was adopted to examine the meal process and the underlying challenges at Ryhov Länssjukhus in Jönköping. Methods of data collection consisted of interviews, observations, document studies and a questionnaire survey. The collected empirical data were then analyzed through the theoretical framework. Findings – The study has identified the following challenges in the meal process: variability, lack of communication, goods-specific characteristics and the absence of a holistic perspective. Challenges linked to variations originate from when patients are absent during the mealtime due to operations or examinations. To handle the challenges with both variations and good-specific characteristics, new approaches to the cooling of meals have been proposed. To improve the communication a coordinating function has been presented which simplifies the management and planning for the healthcare departments. Finally, to handle the challenge of absence of a holistic perspective, new approaches should be adopted related to Lean and process orientation. Implications – The study has identified a number of challenges in the meal process. While working towards improving the meal process, it is important for each individual hospital to assess the challenges that are the most critical to their situation. By implementing the proposed improvements the hospital should gain cost savings through reduced wastage of food and more efficient resource management. Research limitations – This case study examines solely the meal process at Ryhov Länssjukhus and is therefore of individual character. It might also be interesting with a study involving several hospitals to thus find additional challenges and also to verify the results of this study. The emphasis of this study has been activities related to the meal process. If the study had instead adopted a clear patient focus, a broader perspective might have been created with additional viewpoints.

Full textResearch Questions: I: How could a material handling system that is more time-saving and convenient than the present be structured? II: How can a new material handling system be implemented under current circumstances? III: How can Lean Healthcare be used to improve material handling in public healthcare? Purpose: The scope of the project was to study the material handling in a pediatric oncology department and give suggestions how to improve efficiency regarding time and convenience. Furthermore, analyze how Lean and Change Management can bring improvements to the public healthcare. Methodology: This master thesis is an abductive case study at Uppsala University Hospital which is equivalent to 30 ECTS. Primary data was collected through observations, a focus group, interviews and internal documents as well as business intelligence from external hospital departments. Secondary data collection was made through research papers and literature from the field of Lean, logistics' and change management. Findings: The material handling process can be improved with Leanprinciples, but the implementation requires resources and training. A two-bin replenishsystem based on kanban-methodology can save both time and be more comfortable than current material handling – by eliminating non-value activities such as visual inventory. However, there are some practical barriers regarding bacterial risks and traceability of goods.

Full textThe Operation Ward at Hallands Hospital in Varberg has carried out an improvement project to see how the workflow with nerve blockades in the preop preparation area an be optimized. The project's goals were to save time in the operation ward by reducing the time between operations and improving the environment for patients and staff, while ensuring continued patient safety and good care. I have chosen to do a case study to see the effect of the improvement work, and how the group's understanding has evolved. I have made a descriptive study and focused on qualitative data. The information was collected through observations and analysis of the documentation. As a solution method, I used the PDSA-cycle, (Plan, Do, Study, Act) and applied a variety of improvement tools to analyze and describe the project. In the project planning I used Tonnquist’s project model. The result was evaluated through time measurement, a test diary and an employee survey. The timetable was revised due to a shortage of staff and the test had to be postponed by a month. The project group consisted of a multi-professional team with a head of unit, anesthetist, nurses and assistants. The group worked well together, although sometimes it was hard to find the time, especially for the anesthetist. The new way of working was tried out in May and we have started to evaluate the results. The time measurements did not show any clear result. The diary in the pre-op preparation area showed that the new routine worked well and that patient safety was not affected. The survey showed that while a doctor was positive, a couple of nurses objected to the fact that the patient was not treated by the same nurse all the way. They also said that the nurse in the bed hall could be put to better use in the operating theatres. My recommendation is to further discuss the details of the distribution of the different tasks between the pre-op nurse and the anesthetist nurses. We also need to review the time measurements. An observation is that it is hard to find the time to work with improvement projects. A testing period is also useful in order to adjust the details of the implementation. The importance of a clear definition of the project and the measurements is evident, as well as the necessity of communication with the staff involved. In order to get acceptance from everyone in the implementation, it is important that the solution is perceived as a win-win situation for all parties.
