Abstract
Formålet med studiet er at udvikle en strategi for Stråleterapien på Herlev Hospital, som kan understøtte løbende forbedringer. Studiet er et enkelt casestudie af afdelingen, hvor arbejdsgange og forbedringsmuligheder analyseres ved hjælp af Lean-værktøjer (metoder til at reducere spild og gøre processer mere effektive). Analysen viser, at Stråleterapien allerede har flere forbedringsinitiativer, men at der stadig er potentiale for at blive bedre. Derfor anbefales det at forankre den kontinuerlige forbedringspraksis i et af de eksisterende initiativer – SUMU-I – og lade medarbejderne drive indsatsen.
The study aims to develop a strategy for the Radiation Therapy department at Herlev Hospital to support continuous improvement. It is a single-case study that examines the department and proposes improvements using Lean tools (methods for reducing waste and streamlining processes). The analysis finds that the department already has several improvement initiatives, yet there is still room to improve. It therefore recommends anchoring continuous improvement in one of the existing initiatives—SUMU-I—and making it employee-driven.
