Amnis helps reveal the secrets of how to improve clinical design

According to the specialist healthcare quality, innovation and productivity improvement enabler, Amnis, redesigning end to end clinical pathways is the basis of improved healthcare performance. Amnis’ Mark Eaton, commented: “However, the days of doing high level pathway redesign and value stream mapping using brown paper and sticky post-it notes alone should now be at an end.

 
“For some time, service improvement professionals have found themselves tasked with spending hours using Visio or PowerPoint to create passable facsimiles of the diagrams appearing on brown paper – so that they can be sent out for comment and updating after the event. These experiences have helped them appreciate the limitations of the ‘brown paper approach’ in this important work.”
 
Amnis and their partners at Process Master, designers of the award winning Leanpad for Healthcare software, which enables users to create, edit, attach documents, communicate, report on and add performance data, are to run a high level Masterclass, in London, on 21st July to set out a viable, cost effective alternative.
 
“The Masterclass will introduce service redesign specialists and others tasked with managing the redesign of clinical pathways to the key things they can do to drive better service redesign activities,” said Amnis’ client services’ director, Ruth Bodman. “It will also allow people to play with, and understand the flexibility and capabilities of Leanpad for Healthcare software.
 
“The event will allow delegates to review the most productive ways to improve the quality and effectiveness of their clinical pathways; gain answers to their problems with Value Stream Mapping and Pathway Redesign Activities from the ‘experts’ and fellow delegates; gain practical experience of using pathway and process software that should reduce the time taken to capture, edit and share information by up to 80 per cent, and find out what other organisations are doing to ensure that their improvement activities are a success,” she said.
 
The Masterclass takes place at IMECHE, in Birdcage Walk, London, SW1. For further details, or to book a free place, contact Amnis’ Ruth Bodman at ruthbodman@amnis.uk.com or call 0870 446 1002.
