In PART 2 we deep dive:

Areas of Concern in Dermatology Workflow:

  1. Motion: Minimizing unnecessary movement – from searching for patient records to walking between rooms.
  2. Defects: Reducing errors like wrong medication or missed appointments.
  3. Overprocessing: Avoiding repetitive tasks.
  4. Transportation: Efficient movement of patients, medications, and equipment.
  5. Waiting: Reducing patient and staff wait times.

Beyond these, we chat about the age-old problem of "one more question" from patients, suggesting the use of cheat sheets for frequently asked questions. This episode is a masterclass on evaluating and testing hypotheses in real-world scenarios, with a focus on continuous improvement for enhanced patient care and overall clinic efficiency.

Whether you’re in the field of dermatology or looking to optimize any workflow, this episode offers valuable learnings!
