PAST
Lean Rapid Process Improvement Workshop (Dec 2016)
UBCO IHI was recently afforded the opportunity to join a dedicated multidisciplinary team from Kelowna General Hospital as a participant in completing a Lean Rapid Process Improvement Workshop aimed at improving the Emergency Department Triage flow and prioritization processes for both BC Ambulance Service patients and patients who self- present at the hospital. A vast amount of ideas for improvement were generated, and many were successfully tested during the week.
