Have you used Lean to improve processes in your hospital? Whether you have used internal resources or a consulting group, it can be easy to get started and hard to sustain. What are some of the things that are part of an effective Lean improvement initiative?

You have developed a formal linkage between your strategic goals and your improvement program. Your executive team receives periodic reports from your Lean leader(s) about activities and accomplishments. You have an effective “pipeline” set up for improvement project requests. You have incorporated improvement goals into your leaders’ performance evaluation criteria. You have a plan in place for continuing to develop process improvement capability within your current leadership team. If you do not have these basic elements in place, it can be difficult to maintain momentum for your process improvement initiative.

Take a closer look at a couple of the most important items:

...

Do you have patients that you and your hospital staff know by name because of their frequent visits? Does your Emergency Department see some patients multiple times a month? Caretenders can help. Caretenders has established a care delivery model specific to High Risk Hospitalization (HRH) patients. Once you contact them, their transitional care nurse will come to the hospital, meet with the patient and family, obtain all necessary information on the patient and complete an HRH assessment.

Caretenders will then work to transition the patient from your hospital, every step of the way, until they return home. At home, they will admit your patient within 24 hours. They will also have our Medical Social Worker make daily phone calls to the patient for at least 7 days. Caretenders utilizes CardioCom telehealth system to support their efforts in the home. CardioCom takes the patient’s vital signs and transmits them daily to their monitoring system. This provides reassurance that any slight change in the patient’s health will be detected quickly and effectively. The Caretenders team can then work with the MD to adjust medications, O2 levels or even administer diuretics in the home.
