Description
Procedural consents, one of the most frequently used type of consent forms at Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK), are routinely conducted on paper. The paper consent process is a manual and time-consuming process and can lead to improperly filed documents, delayed workflows, and ultimately a suboptimal care experience for patients. Conversion from a paper-based to an electronic consenting process presents an opportunity to address issues with the current practice and ultimately to improve clinical care. However, converting workflow processes that are longstanding and central to medical center function can be challenging. We are using the Lean Startup method as an approach to demonstrate how agile practices and data driven validation can produce innovative solutions within our complex, multidisciplinary cancer care setting.
Learning Objective: To understand how using lean and agile methods can help foster, accelerate and produce innovative solutions to common healthcare issues.
