Hospital Inpatient Waste Identification Tool | IHI
The Hospital Inpatient Waste Identification Tool provides a systematic method for hospital frontline clinical staff, members of the financial team, and leaders to identify clinical and operational waste and subsequently prioritize and implement waste reduction initiatives that will result in cost savings for the organization.
The tool consists of five modules — Ward Module, Patient Care Module, Diagnosis Module, Treatment Module, and Patient Module — that qualitatively identify opportunities for waste reduction. Each module includes clearly articulated waste types, worksheets, and instructions.
Hospitals can use the Waste Identification Tool as one key strategy in an ongoing process of identifying, assessing the impact of, and reducing waste by engaging both frontline staff and leadership. The tool may be adapted by individual organizations to maximize its effectiveness within their clinical environment, or to apply the tool to non-acute care settings.
