Question Answered The Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP) is a 789-bed… The Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP) is a 789-bed acute care hospital in the US. Each year, HUP spend approximately $1.1 million on Excessive Continuous observations (1:1s) for safety precautions. In addition, there was also a resource strain when Clinical Nursing Assistants (CNAs) were asked to respond to safety 1:1s matters aside from their daily clinical duties and patient care.The management team examined the above problems and discovered that there was no agreed weaning process as well as a lack of consistency in determining if a case is to be wean or to discontinue with the safety 1:1s. There were also no follow-up reassessments of patients’ behaviours after they had been assigned to safety 1:1s, which contributed to patients remaining on continuous observation longer than clinically necessary.a) Discuss, with evidence from the passage, the probable type of work performed by the HUP staff as defined in Lean philosophy. b) Using appropriate Lean tool(s), elaborate on TWO recommendations on how HUP could improve the situation.Both questions need to explain in detail.
