Lean Focused Design Support Services
Thinking of renovating, expanding or replacing your facility?
Prevent workarounds and barriers to efficiency before they become bricks and mortar.
Before beginning the next design or construction project, consider partnering with the HPP Lean Focused Design Team. We can assist you in making sound, timely decisions that will enable your facility to integrate lean healthcare operational processes into your next facility project precisely at the correct time in the process.
As healthcare costs and constraints continue to rise at an alarming pace, the HPP Lean Design Team will ensure that the design and construction dollars you spend today will pay dividends well into the future through the reduced waste of costly changes after occupancy, wasted caregiver time, shorter training time, and through reduced risks for medical errors.
HPP focuses on:
- Environmental standardization to complement standardized work
- Proximity of support to point of service
- Attention to minimizing steps, streamlining work, information and materials flow
- Mock-up simulation testing and training
- Workplace layout and design
- Anticipating future growth, flexibility, adaptability
Experienced in design and facility panning, HPP can work collaboratively with the Architect and serve as your Lean focused facilitator, interpreter, educator and advocate for the patient and your healthcare system or hospital team.
The HPP team can use lean tools to determine if a concept will really reduce wasted time and travel distance for caregivers.
- Value Stream Mapping- Key Functional intent of the Design (VSD)
- Observations based on current state analysis
- Future state design - based on architectural floor plan analysis - depicts reduction in distance (linear feet), adjacency improvements, safety etc.
