In most hospitals, the amount of nursing time spent
on actual patient care is only 33 %, while problem solving consumes
40 % of their time. That’s the bad news. The good news is that
inverting this ratio may be easier than you think. According to Dr
John Kenagy and David Sundahl of the US-based Kenagy &
Associates, applying basic principles that underlie lean tools
can help hospitals reduce time wasted on redundant activities and
channel the extra time into patient care, thus increasing patient
safety. |
