520 Engineering Solutions to America's Healthcare Challenges
covers the technologies, systems, and processes that are
emerging in hospitals, clinics, community centers,
universities, and the White House to repair healthcare in
the United States. Focusing on the importance of
individuals being proactive about their own state of
health, it presents a systems approach to changing the way
healthcare professionals do business and take care of
their patients. Written by a leading government and
private sector consultant with more than a decade of
experience as an industrial engineer, the book features
interviews with leading industry experts, both domestic
and international. Describing how industrial engineering
practices are shaping healthcare, it explains why systems
thinking must be the foundation for every aspect of
healthcare. The book presents proven Lean and Six Sigma
tools that can help any healthcare organization begin
making operational improvements that result in a better
quality of care for patients--all while reducing and even
eliminating the waste of time, money, and human resources.
These solutions include implementing Six Sigma in
emergency rooms, 5S in accounting for medical inventory,
using Theory of Constraints to form a plan for shortening
the length of stay in hospitals, how informatics are used
to aggregate and benchmark sensitive data, and design of
experiments to recruit and retain the best healthcare
talent. The book illustrates the most common factors
involved with successful Six Sigma projects in healthcare
organizations and considers the implications of a rapidly
growing medical tourism industry. It addresses the role of
insurance on healthcare improvement and also previews some
of the most fascinating technological advances currently
in development. It also offers examples and analysis of
The Institute of Medicine's six aims for healthcare:
safety, effectiveness, efficiency, timeliness, family-
centered focus, and equity.
