The Surgical Area gives an award of 750 euros to S.O.S. Refugiats

The professionals of the Surgical Area of the Clínic announced the implementation of the Lean methodology, which is based on the reduction of waste and improvement of patient flow, to the XIII Days of Management and Evaluation in Health of the Signo Foundation . The Evaluation Committee of the conference decided to award them the prize for the best communication, endowed with 750 euros. The Surgical Area has decided to donate the money to the solidarity project developped at Clinic and Sant Joan de Déu, S.O.S. Refugiats, whose goal is to send health workers to care for migrants who have been forced to flee conflict or poverty.

The communication, presented by Susagna Trias, head of Economic and Administrative Management of the Surgical Area, is entitled "Project to improve the inflow of activity, information to the patient's relatives and coordination among professionals in the surgical process" and explain the techniques of Lean methodology used. Within this framework is also the EstimTrack program, an application that informs the family in real time about the situation of the patient who is operated and at the same time allows to improve the daily management of the Surgical Area thanks to the coordination of all the professionals through tablets and smartphones. According to Dr. Jaume Balust, head of the Clinic Anesthesiology Section and one of the creators of the program, "EstimTrack significantly reduces the distress of family members, since they know at all times what stage of the process the patient is in" .

S.O.S. Refugiats, a project that depends on everyone

The sustainability of S.O.S. Refugiats depends exclusively on the donations that are received. Thanks to actions such as the one that professionals of the Surgical Area have decided to carry out, it is possible to continue sending health personnel in the Greek camps where the refugees are trapped. Currently, more than half of the teams of programmers have returned from the camps. Donations can be made through the Clinic Intranet or by bank transfer.
