Focused On: NHS Lean Thinking + NHS Simulation Modelling = Optimised NHS Patient Flow Planning

If you can answer "Yes" to some of the questions below, then we'd be keen to work with you and your colleagues.

Do you work in health (Hospital, PCT, SHA)?

Do you want higher quality & value-for-money care for your Patients?

Do your Patients ever go on Waiting Lists or join Queues for Diagnostics, Treatment or Discharge?

Can you improve your Public Health strategy & make better "Invest-to Save" decisions?

Do you need Joint Care & Health strategies that meet Local Population needs?

Do you need to re-think the Location & Capacity of your Screening or Treatment Facilities?

Do you want 'Lean Thinking' solutions that Patients, Staff and even the Finance Director will like?

Do you believe that your Senior Clinicians will support you?

You'll be familiar with the PDSA (Plan, Do, Study, Act) method of process improvement, but what about larger changes that are not easily reversed? How can you evaluate such changes without being seen to risk Patient welfare, waste money on unsuccessful capital investment, or run the risk of unnecessary recruitment?

Percept methods enabled us to produce "Tried and tested solutions that have never been done before"

Our new A&E should be "A truly fit for purpose recommendation"

For our 18-Week Pathways, "At the press of a button, we can analyse our Patient Flows both in terms of throughput and value-for-money"

"We now have a blue print for success. Focused_On have got the tools and understanding to help other Breast Screening Services quickly"

If these sound like the kind of NHS 'lean thinking' solutions you'd like, then we'll be pleased to come and see you. Contact Focused-On and ask for a meeting to discuss your concerns and ideas.

We specialise in helping Acute, Mental Health, and Primary Care NHS Trusts who want:

Lean, Fast and Effective Patient Flows
Value for money Processes
Efficient, stress minimised Resource utilisation
Well designed, well tested and demonstrably successful Strategies
Optimised Location Decisions for new facilities

The aim of our work is to give you new tools and techniques so that you can more thoroughly understand your problems and test possible solutions before you implement them. This gives you confidence that key Strategic, Resourcing and Investment decisions are based on the best known facts combined with the best available analysis tools.

You might also like to look at our Real-time Bed Management system with which your Trust could gain better control of Bed Allocations and reduce blockages, delayed patient discharges, and cancelled elective operations.
