Implementation of process development and Lean in healthcare
Short description
Healthcare is in a new orientation. A long series of attempts to develop and streamline care have led to insights that more sustainable and practical methods for business development need to be applied. With our Scandinavian tradition of employee influence and learning in working life, there is potential to develop the more sustainable care processes of the future - if at the same time opportunities for enthusiasm and well-being are strengthened. The overall purpose was to study and describe practical approaches to building and organizing capacity for sustainable work processes, learning, commitment and well-being - during a reorientation of healthcare processes.
We study in particular:
Implementation processes at hospital management, operational and unit levels
Consequences in the work environment as well as for health and commitment for the various care professions
The working methods of change leadership and its consequences for the development of participation, commitment and ownership in business development
How visualization of complex processes is used and in what way they contribute to participation, commitment and ownership in business development
The importance of social capital for sustainable business development and employee health and how social capital can be built in teams, professional groups, organizational structures
Managerial development and support resources - managers' capacity to combine the requirements for efficient operations and health-promoting work environment as well as support resources that are crucial for this.
Effects in the form of efficiency, patient safety and quality of care
