SAN DIEGO, CA, October 28, 2010
In a report in Healthcare Digital, Donna Lommer, Vice President of Residential Services and CFO, speaks on the wide range of services offered, along with how they are integrating lean business strategies and technological advancements to improve efficiency.Accreditation Canada is the national standard that healthcare providers go through regularly to survey their own facility to ensure they're delivering the best possible practices in key areas from a quality perspective. These internal audits survey patient and staff satisfaction and Interior Health was the first regional healthcare facility to become accredited.
Interior Health has also implemented lean strategies for the last several years as a tool to conduct kaizen events to reduce waste within their system. "We're currently at a pivot point to determine the best ways to covert these lean strategies as a tool for embracing our management system and also make it part of our business' culture to enhance the engagement of our staff and build trust with our patients and within our organisation," Lommer says. "We're looking for opportunities to embed this knowledge into part of our mission and learn how to live and breathe these philosophies."
