This document discusses introducing lean culture and principles to improve operating room efficiency. It notes that lean can help by focusing on patient value, eliminating waste, improving employee engagement, optimizing OR resource use, streamlining processes, and standardizing practices. A lean introduction team is formed to pilot lean in specific areas like the sterilization department and day surgery. The team will create value stream maps, key performance metrics, and teach lean principles like measuring metrics visually, daily stand-up meetings, problem solving in autonomous teams, and establishing standards. The goal is to reduce the number of canceled elective surgeries each day by addressing the various reasons for cancellation.
