Reducing Hospital Costs by Reducing Supply Waste
Abstract
Hospitals lose a large amount of money through waste as defined by lean. Processes have been in place many years at medical facilities and waste is often accepted as unavoidable in the rightful “patient first” mentality. The Plan, Do, Check, Act cycle is used for the control and continual improvement of the waste management process at the hospital where the study took place. By adapting and utilizing lean and statistical tools such as scatter diagrams, histograms, Pareto charts, fishbone diagrams, and control charts, waste can be identified and reduced or eliminated. The use of the statistical tools provides a visual presentation of the message that the team conveyed. They are especially useful to summarize the information that would normally require much time and effort to elucidate its complexity. Further, they provide a visual summation with still a great deal of details leading to increased satisfaction, efficiency, and creates competitive advantage.
