The 3rd Lean Conference took place this Monday at the Vic University Hospital, focusing on the continuous improvement of healthcare and organizational processes to generate more value for professionals and users.

Under the theme "What if we did it differently?", the conference brought together professionals to share experiences, results, and learnings on the Lean methodology. Imma Bosch, Director of Organization and Digital Transformation, opened the event, emphasizing that Lean represents a mindset shift for reviewing processes and identifying improvement opportunities.
The presented projects demonstrated how small organizational changes can significantly impact patient care. Areas covered included optimizing the clinical process for spondyloarthritis, transforming document management in the Legal Advisory department, and automating workflows, all aimed at eliminating inefficiencies.
Collaborative initiatives such as "Reducing delays with CSIR" and the "Integrated cancer network of the C-17" were also presented, highlighting the need for coordinated work that transcends institutional boundaries.
The panel discussion "From Myths to Reality: The Vision of Those Who Apply It Daily", moderated by Clara Pladevall, Head of the Strategy and Processes Office, debunked common misconceptions about Lean, such as "doing more with less" or the idea that small changes don't transform organizations. The conference also included a patient experience-focused activity.
Sara Manjón, Manager of CHV-FHSC, concluded the event by stressing that continuous improvement requires a thorough understanding of problems, listening to professionals and users, and generating value. She encouraged professionals to continue driving this philosophy.
