Lean Transformation for Healthcare
The Manufacturing Institute provides lean healthcare consulting services to NHS Trusts that optimise healthcare processes 
and patient pathways as part of an overall lean transformation programme.
The benefits that can be achieved in healthcare through lean transformation include:
- Reduced waiting times
- Reduced length of stay
- Improved quality and efficiency
- Elimination of errors and adverse events
- Improved patient safety and reduced mortality
- Improved staff morale
- Improved patient satisfaction
- Efficiency gains from reduced waste
- Releasing resources and staff for improved patient care
- Culture change to continuous improvements - Seeking perfection
NHS institutions are turning to lean to help get more out of the same resources, to help improve the quality of patient care and safety, eliminating errors, cutting delays and reducing length of patient stay in hospital.
"The economic challenge now facing this country makes the quest for quality an absolute necessity. High quality care is not an unaffordable luxury but the centrepiece. In healthcare, quality and efficiency are two sides of the same coin"
Lord Ara Darzi, 30 June 2009.
We are practice leaders in the implementation of sustainable operational improvements based on lean principles in the UK and have been working 
with NHS Trusts since 2006 to identify waste and areas for optimisation within a specific process or the overall clinical pathway.
We believe that we can help you to build a world class lean healthcare organisation where flexibility and speed of response can be combined with the highest quality of service.
