Welcome to Lesson 11, titled Implement a Kaizen Suggestion System. In this lesson we’ll be discussing the need to engage the entire OR and hospital staff in the effort of continuous improvement. Lean is not just for a few experts that wear a certain color of belt. To varying degrees everyone needs to be involved, in larger or smaller ways, and not every improvement suggestion requires a full Kaizen event that we’d discussed in the previous lessons. You can’t call yourself a Lean Hospital until you get everyone engaged.
