Unlocking Hospital Capacity: Revolutionizing Hospital Operations through Push to Pull Lean Redesign of Inpatient Flow

This project focuses on revolutionizing hospital operations by transitioning from traditional push systems to innovative pull systems that ensure seamless, continuous patient flow from the Emergency Department to admission and discharge. The initiative targeted bottlenecks caused by batching decisions and tasks in clinical settings, which often create "idle time" for patients and constrain hospital capacity.
