ABSTRACT

Introducción. El objetivo fue evaluar si la aplicación de la metodología Lean a un servicio de rehabilitación disminuye los derroches (mudas en la terminología Lean) y agrega valor al cliente. Material y métodos. Se creó un equipo multidisciplinar, que mediante la realización de un diagnóstico de proceso estableció 3 áreas potenciales de mejora: el almacén, la estandarización de los materiales y los recorridos que realizaba el profesional en el área terapéutica. Posteriormente se implementaron acciones de mejora utlilizando 3 herramientas Lean: kanban, 5S y 2P. Resultados. Tras la implantación de la metodología Lean el coste del material almacenado se redujo un 43%, y el consumo por paciente tratado un 19%, incrementándose en un 7% el tiempo de dedicación al paciente. Conclusiones. En las condiciones del estudio se consiguió estandarizar los procesos y eliminar los mudas, reduciendo los costes y aumentando el valor sobre el paciente. De confirmarse estos resultados se demostraría que es posible aplicar herramientas de origen industrial al ámbito sanitario, con el objetivo de mejorar la calidad asistencial y conseguir la máxima eficiencia (AU)


Introduction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reduction in costs and the increase in time devoted to the patient, by applying Lean Healthcare methodology. Material and methods. A multidisciplinary team was formed, setting up three potential areas for improvement by performing a diagnostic process, including the storage and standardization of materials, and professional tasks in the therapeutic areas, by implementing three Lean tools: kanban, 5S and 2P. Results. Stored material costs decreased by 43%, the cost of consumables per patient treated by 19%, and time dedicated to patient treatment increased by 7%. Conclusions. The processes were standardized and “muda” (wastefulness) was eliminated, thus reducing costs and increasing the value to the patient. All this demonstrates that it is possible to apply tools of industrial origin to the health sector, with the aim of improving the quality of care and achieve maximum efficiency (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción. El traumatismo craneoencefálico (TCE) es la primera causa de discapacidad adquirida entrela población infantil y juvenil, y la recuperación de la marchauno de los principales objetivos de los programas de rehabilitación. La finalidad de este trabajo es estudiar la influencia de la capacidad de la marcha en el momento del alta hospitalaria,y su repercusión sobre el tiempo de estancia hospitalaria en un grupo de niños y adolescentes con TCE ingresadosen el Servicio de Rehabilitación de un hospital infantil. Pacientes y métodos. Evaluamos 40 niños con TCE y conuna edad media de 13,5 años ingresados en la planta de Rehabilitaciónde un hospital infantil desde el año 2001 hasta el 2006. En el momento del alta hospitalaria la marcha se clasificó de forma cuantitativa por su presencia o ausencia, y de forma cualitativa por ser autónoma o asistida. Las variablesanalizadas fueron: tipo de lesión según la neuroimagen, lesiones asociadas en extremidades inferiores y/o pelvis, días de estancia en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos (UCI), en la planta de Rehabilitación y días de estancia total, presencia del síndrome de disfunción autonómica (SDA) y pronóstico funcionalal alta según la escala de resultados de Glasgow (GOS). Resultados. En el momento del alta hospitalaria 35 niños(87,5 %) realizaban marcha; 29 de ellos (72,5 %) lo hacían de forma autónoma y 6 (15,0 %) de forma asistida. Los 5 restantes (12,5 %) no deambulaban. Tres pacientes presentaron el síndrome de disfunción autonómica, ninguno de los cualescaminaba. La estancia media hospitalaria fue de 32,15 días enlos ambulantes y de 46,35 en los no ambulantes. Se encontró correlación entre la capacidad de marcha, el tiempo medio de coma y los días de estancia en la UCI. Otras variables correlacionadas,aunque estadísticamente menos significativas, fueron los días de estancia en la planta de Rehabilitación y el tiempo total de ingreso (AU)


Introduction. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the most important cause of acquired disability in children and young people. Restoring walking ability is one of the primary purposes of our rehabilitation program. This work has aimed to study the incidence of the walking ability on hospital discharge time and its effects on the average hospital stay in children and young people with TBI admitted to a Children¿s Hospital Rehabilitation Service. Patients and methods. Forty children with TBI and an average age of 13.5 were admitted to the rehabilitation service between 2001 and 2006. Walking was evaluated at the time of discharge quantitatively (presence or absence of walking ability) and qualitatively (independent or device assisted walking). The variables analyzed were: lesion type through neuroimaging, associated lower limb injuries, average stay in ICU (Intensive care Unit) and Rehabilitation Service, presence of Autonomic Dysfunction Syndrome (SDA) and functional outcome on discharge by Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS). Results. Thirty-five (87.5 %) of the 40 children and adolescents were walkers on discharge, 29(72.5 %) as independent walkers, 6(15.0 %) walked with device assistance and 5 (12.5 %) were non-walkers. Average Hospital stay was 32.15 days for walking children and 46.35 for non-walking ones. A correlation was found between walking ability, length of coma and length of the impatient stay in the ICU. Other correlated variables but with less statistical significance were average Rehabilitation service stay and total length of impatient stay. We did not find any correlation with initial TBI severity or with lower limb or pelvis injuries. Conclusions. Most of the children were walkers at discharge. The average Rehabilitation impatient stay and total average inpatient stay were lower in non-walking patients. We conclude that walking ability has an influence over total average Hospital inpatient stay (AU)
