CALL FOR CHAPTER – Lean Thinking in Healthcare
CALL FOR CHAPTER
Lean Thinking in Healthcare
Edited by Nilmini Wickramasinghe, Latif Al-Hakim, Chris Gonzalez and Joseph Tan
INTRODUCTION
Lean thinking aims to substantially smooth flows and drastically reduce waste and process variations. The application of lean requires looking to the system as “sociotechnical” system in which human factor engineering and technology plays the central role. The ‘sociotechnical’ aspect of lean production has been enhanced through introducing five principles (i.e., value, value stream, flow, pull and perfection) within which the customer value and waste reduction are the cores of the lean system. Literature emphasises that lean thinking provides four main benefits; improved quality and safety, improved delivery, improved throughput – the same resources with higher efficiency, and accelerating momentum – A stable working environment with clear, standardised procedures creates the foundations for constant improvement.

ICMCC Guest Post: 3 Implementations of RFID in Healthcare
RFID is quickly becoming a household subject in today’s technological world. You can’t seem to go anywhere without running into some form of it.

Juggling Numbers
As our regular visitors know, the ICMCC News Page provides you with recent news on Health Information Technology. And with an average of more than 2,500 unique visitors per day from over 150 countries the News Page is one of the best viewed news sources. So we provide a preview from and links to work from others. And we rarely comment. And if we do so, our blog is used.
Today I came across an article that made me somewhat uneasy. It happens sometimes when numbers are involved (see this reaction from 2 years ago).
