Can Lean Really Apply to Homecare?
Certainly there are many obvious differences between a healthcare system/homecare organization and a pure manufacturing system; however, there are far more similarities than differences.
For example:
- Both systems require as few defects or errors as possible
- Both require standards and standardized work
- Improved quality results in reduced costs in both systems
- Rework is costly and very wasteful in both systems
- Waste is evenly distributed throughout the healthcare and manufacturing value chain
