Using Lean Six Sigma to Decrease Delivery Time of Blood Products to the Operating Room

This article describes LSS methods and their application in health care. We detail a successful quality improvement (QI) initiative in which we tested LSS tools to evaluate and enhance our institution’s blood product delivery to the operating room (OR). Incorporating LSS-driven changes resulted in a revised workflow, which decreased personnel workload and significantly reduced delivery time. We hope this article will encourage other health care institutions to integrate LSS strategies into their workflows.
