FACT SHEET ISSUES IN THE HEALTH CARE NETWORK:
Long waiting lists, hard-to-access care, overcrowded waiting rooms, staff shortages, high costs, low productivity, stressed-out employees, and medical mistakes, there are many reasons for optimizing the health care network’s performance.
The time has come to introduce a new vision supporting improvement and upcoming work organization initiatives.
AN INNOVATION CONCEPT BASED ON THE TOYOTA METHOD
Toyota revolutionized the industrial world by developing a cutting-edge management system, the Toyota Production System. Based on an innovative performance optimization concept, the system has demonstrated its effectiveness for over 50 years and has become the global reference for work organization and management.
This adaptable system can be applied in any sector, especially health care, and the Lean Healthcare approach, based on that system, is the proof.
