Impact of Preoperative Patient Education on Postoperative Recovery in Abdominal Surgery: A Systematic Review

Freya Brodersen et al.

Summary: This review examined the effect of preoperative patient education on postoperative recovery in abdominal surgery and assessed different patient education strategies. The majority of the included studies reported a reduction in hospital stay, postoperative complications, and psychological stress for patients who received preoperative education. However, the variations in content, delivery, and implementation make it difficult to compare the studies, and further research is needed to provide concrete recommendations for clinical practice.

The Use of Lean Six Sigma Methodology in the Reduction of Patient Length of Stay Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Surgery

Sinead Moffatt et al.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to reduce the length of stay of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction patients in a private hospital in Ireland by adopting Lean Six Sigma methods. The results showed a significant reduction in inpatient length of stay and non-value-added activity, leading to the establishment of a new day-case surgery pathway. This study contributes to the evidence that adopting a Lean Six Sigma approach can successfully optimize care and surgical pathways in healthcare.

Medication Errors in the Operating Room: An Analysis of Contributing Factors and Related Drugs in Case Reports from a Japanese Medication Error Database

Ryohei Suzuki et al.

Summary: The objective of this study was to prevent drug-related medication errors in the operating room by clarifying the association between medication error category, related drugs, and contributing factors. It was found that medication errors frequently occur during drug preparation and administration, with incorrect dose and incorrect drug being the most common error categories. Medical staff should thoroughly learn about operating room-specific drugs and closely monitor every step of the drug preparation and administration process.

Using a Combined Lean and Person-Centred Approach to Support the Resumption of Routine Hospital Activity following the First Wave of COVID-19

Ailish Daly et al.

Summary: This study discusses the experience of a private hospital in Dublin, Ireland in redesigning service delivery to resume routine hospital activity after the first wave of COVID-19. By using Lean methodology and a rapid improvement event (RIE) approach, the hospital successfully resumed services, meeting the organizational target of a 75% bed occupancy rate and exceeding the target for surgeries by 13%. Outpatient visits recovered to exceed pre-COVID-19 levels by 10%, patient satisfaction improved from 93% to 95%, and there were no in-hospital patient COVID-19 transmissions during the study period from July to December 2020.

Lean, Six Sigma, and Simulation: Evidence from Healthcare Interventions

Diego Tlapa et al.

Summary: In the Industry 4.0 era, dual interventions in healthcare services that integrate lean and six sigma primarily focus on improving patient flow, resulting in positive outcomes related to length of stay, waiting time, and turnaround time. However, there is a lack of reported evidence on the impact of these interventions on patient health and satisfaction, staff wellbeing, resource use, and savings.

Lean six sigma in the healthcare sector: A systematic literature review

Rajeev Rathi et al.

Summary: Healthcare organizations still lack efficiency and productivity, especially in developing nations. Lean Six Sigma methodology has the potential to improve process capability and efficiency, but there is a limited focus on improving medical processes in research studies. Studies conducted in developing nations are few, but there is increasing attention towards these countries. However, most studies in these nations are empirical and lack conceptual or exploratory research. There is a need for guidance in creating a continuous improvement environment in healthcare to sustain the improvements achieved through Lean Six Sigma implementation.

A Realist Inquiry to Identify the Contribution of Lean Six Sigma to Person-Centred Care and Cultures

Sean Paul Teeling et al.

Summary: The lack of fidelity to Lean Six Sigma's philosophical roots can lead to division between person-centred approaches and system-wide quality improvement methods focused on efficiency and clinical outcomes in healthcare. This study aims to investigate how LSS influences person-centered care and cultures, with a focus on examining the mechanisms and processes through which LSS education impacts healthcare staff's practices. Realist review and evaluation identified potential configurations explaining how LSS influences practice, with a particular emphasis on staff interactions and the alignment with person-centered cultures.
