About Stepping Up Healthcare

Healthcare deserves systems that empower and engage people to deliver better care—and that starts with building your capability to create meaningful change. I go by Takt, a name inspired by takt time, which I use as a pseudonym so I can share freely. I plan to share learnings, trainings, real-world examples, reflections, random thoughts (and ramblings), and anything that hopefully helps you grow. My mission is to help you build the skills and confidence to improve your work, your team, and ultimately healthcare as a whole.

Getting Your Steps In (for all the Wrong Reasons) Waste in Motion - Motion

This episode explains motion waste in healthcare as unnecessary movement—especially searching and extra walking—and clarifies how it differs from transportation waste (moving yourself vs. moving items). It shows how motion quietly adds up into miles walked per shift, contributing to fatigue, sore feet, and breaks in focus that can increase error risk, while also compounding with other wastes like defects. The episode acknowledges aging hospital layouts and emphasizes designing systems that reduce trips and standardize supply locations. S1E9

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
