The Alzheimer’s Patient Experience White Paper

Guidon Performance Solutions, in conjunction with Banner Alzheimer's Institute in Phoenix, Arizona, set out to evaluate and document the end-to-end Alzheimer patient health care process. Using tools from Lean Six Sigma to document and analyze the process, the team was charged with tracing the flow of a patient and caregiver and examining the current quality, cost, and outcome drivers of the existing care process. Lastly, the team was to identify opportunities to reduce costs and improve the overall quality of care for Alzheimer's patients and their caregivers.

In this white paper you will learn:

Current state vs. future state processes required to bring the patient through the entire care cycle
Issues with the Current Care System
3 identified solutions to effectively improve the process for the patient and to establish a standard of care across the entire process
A vision for the future in addressing the devastating effects of Alzheimer’s disease

While Lean Sigma is not a silver bullet for driving business performance improvement, it is a key element of a high-performing business ecosystem which provides the ongoing catalyst to drive innovation while also improving patient and business outcomes.
