Workflow management practices,
Practices that engage employees

and promote a work environment
work in progress, which maximize
that emphasizes self-development
efficiency and promote continuous
improvement. and ongoing improvement.
Define:
Goal: Reduce patient wait times in the ED.
Scope: Focus on the patient flow process from arrival
to discharge.
Customer Requirements: Ensure timely and efficient
care delivery to patients in the ED.
Measure:
Collect data on patient wait times, including arrival
time, time to triage, time to physician assessment, time
to treatment, and time to discharge.
Measure process metrics such as average wait time,
length of stay, and patient satisfaction scores

EXAMPLE
Problem: The hospital's ED is experiencing long
wait times for patients, leading to patient
dissatisfaction, overcrowding, and inefficiencies
in patient flow.
Analyze:
Analyze the data to identify bottlenecks and
inefficiencies in the patient flow process.
Conduct a value stream mapping exercise to visualize
the current state of the patient flow process and
identify areas for improvement.
Use tools like diagrams to track the movement of
patients and identify unnecessary steps or delays.

Problem: The hospital's ED is experiencing long
wait times for patients, leading to patient
dissatisfaction, overcrowding, and inefficiencies
in patient flow.
Improve:
Implement solutions to streamline the patient flow
process and reduce wait times:
Standardize triage procedures to prioritize patients
based on acuity.
Implement a rapid assessment protocol to
expedite physician evaluations.
Optimize staffing levels and resource allocation to
match patient demand.
Introduce lean concepts such as 5S to organize
workspaces and reduce clutter.
Pilot test the solutions and gather feedback from staff
and patients.

Problem: The hospital's ED is experiencing long
wait times for patients, leading to patient
dissatisfaction, overcrowding, and inefficiencies
in patient flow.
Control:
Establish controls to sustain the improvements:
Monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) such as
wait times and patient satisfaction scores on a
regular basis.
Implement visual management tools such as
dashboards to track performance metrics in real-
time.
Conduct regular observation of the process and
identify opportunities for further improvement.
Provide ongoing training and support to staff to ensure
adherence to new processes and protocols.

EXAMPLE
Problem: The hospital's ED is experiencing long
wait times for patients, leading to patient
dissatisfaction, overcrowding, and inefficiencies
in patient flow.
Results:
After implementing Lean Six Sigma improvements, the
hospital observes a significant reduction in patient wait
times in the ED.
Patient satisfaction scores improve, and overcrowding
issues are alleviated, leading to a more positive patient
experience.
Process performance metrics such as length of stay
and throughout efficiency improve, indicating
enhanced operational efficiency and resource
utilization.
