Abstract:
A lean management practice had been in place in Taizhou Enze Medical Center during the COVID-19 epidemic period, featuring the " principle-system-tool" theory of the Shingo model, in an effort to build a new model of COVID-19 prevention and control. The center upheld such five principles of lean management as overall planning, total involvement, system collaboration, concern with process and continuous improvement, and people-oriented practice. Under such principles, the center set up five supportive systems of lean management tools, namely risk identification, rapid screening, homogeneous treatment, customized follow-up and employee care. Integrated use of multiple tools of lean management, had improved the hospital′s crisis response ability, achieving desirable outcomes in stages in combating COVID-19 epidemic.
