Symposium MANAGEMENT AND OPTIMISATION OF THE DAILYWORKFLOW 09:15 - 10:30 | ROOM 3 Implementation of workflow management systems in a department is a real asset for continuous quality improvement and increased efficiency. In order to properly implement workflow management systems, it is important to properly define the current workflow of the department while allowing enough flex- ibility to integrate modifications emanating from improvement action or process changes. These systems are also tightly linked to patient safety. Improvement and continuous development of this important aspect depends also on the possibility to measure it. Patient safety culture is a complex phenomenon and quantitative and qualitative measures should be combined to increase understand- ing in the actual effects. Lean can serve as an overall philosophy to create quality/safety improvement. In addition to the cultural aspects, also structural elements and clinical process improvements should be addressed. Lastly, we will see a model to plan the number of therapy units according to demographical and epide- miological aspects. Chair: D. Pasini (Italy) Co-chair: P. Cornacchione (Italy)
