• Process Improvement is all about implementing changes; many times these are small, requiring no project management. However, other improvements require major changes that become projects. The biggest problem with many of the process improvement programs is that you have to have a degree in statistics or engineering to understand them. However, it does not have to be that way. During this presentation, we will apply a simple three-phase Process Improvement process using PM, LEAN, Six Sigma, and TQM approaches to real Healthcare examples as applied by University of Tennessee’s Industrial and Systems Engineering Department.

Recommendations Pre-screening orders and have more proactive approach
Creating a Kanban system for orders that need attention
Having Pre-cert # already on the order
Having a “complete” & “readable” order Better fax machines “Standard format” for orders
(Website access to input patient data)• No need for faxes• Direct upload onto the database• Can be easily read • Time & Money saved
Pre-registration on phone
In case of surgery, doctor could send order directly to surgery
In case of standing order, direct [email protected]

Change the current layout
Apply principles 5 S in patient admissions office
Sort (Seiri), Straighten (Seiton), Shine (Seiso), Standardize (Seiketsu) and Sustain (Shitsuke)
