About this eTextbook
. Getting to Standard Work in Health Care Using TWI to Create a Foundation for Quality Care Addressing the challenges involved in achieving standard work in health care, Getting to Standard Work in Health Care, 2nd Edition describes how to incorporate the Training Within Industry (TWI) methods of Job Instruction (JI), Job Relations (JR) and Job Methods (JM) to facilitate performance excellence and boost employee morale in a health care organization. It not only examines the TWI methodologies but also explains how this program is as vital and applicable in today’s health care environment as it was when it was developed to train replacements of an industrial workforce off to fight in WWII.
Placing this methodology squarely within the health care paradigm, the book uses easy-to-understanding terminology to describe how these methods can make all the difference in the delivery of quality health care. Supplying the foundation for successful Lean practice in health care, it clearly defines the role of standard work and leadership skills in relation to Lean health care. The updated text includes new case studies of current TWI usage in health care that demonstrates how to successfully roll out a sustainable TWI initiative.
All new chapters on Job Relations and Job Methods give insight into the full scope of TWI skills development. Including examples of TWI application during the Covid pandemic, the book provides readers with the understanding of how to use these time-tested methodologies to improve training, increase engagement, and deliver continuous improvement in your organization.
