Quick Changeover Events Hit a Home Run
During the month of September Leonardo Group Americas conducted two 5-day Kaizen events under the sponsorship of AORN, the Association of periOperative Registered Nurses. Quick Changeover has been an AORN focus this year, and the goal of these process improvement projects was to apply the Lean "SMED" system to the OR suite changeover process, with two volunteer hospitals. The results exceeded all expectations, and you can download a PDF file of the results by clicking here.
