Overview
Japanese hospitals have been implementing Kaizen since the 1990s, applying TPS (Toyota Production System) principles to patient flow, medication management, and surgical throughput. This programme visits two Kaizen-certified Japanese hospitals, reviews their improvement data, and teaches participants to design their own Kaizen projects using Value Stream Mapping, 5S, and A3 problem-solving reports adapted for clinical settings.
Program Objectives
- Apply Kaizen principles to hospital patient-flow and medication management.
- Design a healthcare Value Stream Map.
- Facilitate a clinical A3 problem-solving session.
