Some of the biggest opportunities in a hospital linen program only show up when you walk the floor. On AHRMM’s Subject Matter Expert podcast, host Justin Poulin talks with Jason Isherwood, founder of LinSights Health and ClearVu-IQ and Chair of the AHRMM National Chapter Relations Committee.
What an on-site evaluation reveals
Jason shares an example of spotting operational inefficiencies during an on-site linen evaluation, the kind of issues that never appear on an invoice or report. The lesson carries beyond linen: the same approach applies to other supply chain delivery models.
Key themes
- Go see the process. Walking carts, closets and delivery routes uncovers waste that data alone can miss.
- Inefficiency hides in routine. Workarounds become habits, and habits become cost.
- Lessons travel across categories. What works in linen distribution often applies to other supply chain delivery models.
- Building the AHRMM community. Jason also discusses his plans for chapter resources, member engagement and working closely with health system leaders.
