Better Organization Means a Better Experience for All

The healthcare industry can learn from strategies designed to improve workplace efficiency within factories - such as 5S Lean. In achieving greater organization, error occurrences are reduced, work environments are tidier, facilities are cleaner, workflow is smoother, and supply levels are better managed.

When implemented correctly, 5S and other industrial organization methods can positively impact every aspect of a healthcare organization - from patient care to cost management. Infection control can only benefit from installing new ways of organizational thinking.
