PAPHR Lean savings among the lowest in Saskatchewan
A recent audit on Saskatchewan’s Lean management initiative shows there is $125 million in projected savings and the Prince Albert Parkland Health Region (PAPHR) makes up only a small part of that number.
The information was collected in response to a report from the Provincial Auditor last December that said even the government couldn’t tell if Lean was saving money.
Based on these numbers the PAPHR’s projected Lean savings is $25,735. This is one of the lowest savings in the province. The two bigger health regions, compared to the PAPHR’s, have much larger savings—the Saskatoon Health Region at $33,623,598 and $1,543,956 in the Regina Qu’Appelle Health Region.
