Peculiarities of Training in Lean Technologies in a Remote Format at the "Process Factory" of Kuban State Medical University in the Conditions of Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

The introduction of lean technologies in the organization of health care is due to the implementation of the priority federal project in the Russian Federation “Creation of a new model of a medical organization providing primary health care”. The work reflects the peculiarities of training in lean production for employees of healthcare organizations in an atypical situation associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. The use of distance technologies in the training center “Process Factory” of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education “Kuban State Medical University” of the Ministry of Health of Russia (KubSMU) was a timely response to the changing conditions, within which the information and methodological base of training cycles was promptly adapted. The article discusses the positive and negative aspects of distance learning lean technologies, shows the difficulties faced by both learners and Lean trainers. The article describes the regularities of the transition from the traditional full-time education at the “Process Factory” with the immersion of students in simulated conditions, to the alternative - distance learning, using virtual space and other innovative technologies for conducting classes. It is concluded that distance learning has a number of advantages in improving the qualifications of employees of healthcare institutions in the field of implementation of lean technologies. The methodology of E. Goldratt and the model of E. Kübler-Ross used in the work made it possible to identify the causes of resistance and create a set of measures to overcome resistance to change, implemented in a distance learning format.
