Lean Six Sigma: Helping Long-Term Care Pharmacies Thrive in a Challenging Market

Long-Term Care (LTC) pharmacies are playing a critical role in delivering care primarily for our aging population. Yet LTC pharmacies face many challenges, including rising costs, space constraints, labor availability and many others.

To find innovative solutions, LTC pharmacy leaders can leverage Lean Six Sigma (LSS) management techniques to improve the customer experience while enhancing profitability. Applied to targeted projects of diverse size and complexity, LSS provides a structured approach that enables LTC pharmacies to:

• Reduce lead times
• Add capacity – without adding cost
• Ensure accurate, on-time deliveries
• Enhance capacity by improving efficiency
• Maximize use of available space
• Balance workflows
• Stabilize processes

At Cardinal Health^™ Operational Excellence (OpEx) Consulting, we offer a proven LSS methodology to develop customized solutions that meet the unique needs of your LTC operations.
