Description

In a unique and integrated approach, The Definitive Guide to Emergency Department Operational Improvement: Employing Lean Principles with Current ED Best Practices to Create the “No Wait” Department exposes you to the academics at the back of managing the complex service environment that may be the ED. The book combines applied management science and ED experience to create a model of how to reinforce your emergency department operations.

After summarizing the current state of emergency medicine, the book offers an in-depth presentation of Lean tools used in the ED in conjunction with basic and advanced glide principles grounded in queuing theory and the theory of constraints. It then shows how these concepts are applied in the emergency department and why they work, supported by a comprehensive case study in which Lean principles were used to turn out to be an underperforming ED into a world-class operation.

The authors highlight three commonly referenced intervals in the ED: door to doc (input), doc to disposition (throughput), and disposition to departure (output). After reviewing best practices, the authors provide an explanation for how to reach excellence in your own environment by discussing change management, leadership, dealing with resistance, and other critical elements of creating a culture of change. Under any scenario realized by healthcare reform, this book provides the tools and concepts to reinforce your ED for patients, group of workers, the organization, and in the long run, society.
