- Lean – a frame of reference For about two decades lean production has figured in production industries and it has now reached the public sector. In hospitals lean healthcare has been greeted with open arms but even though communication is a prerequisite for lean to function few studies has been conducted from a communication perspective. Our purpose is to elucidate and augment the understanding of the co-worker’s communicative roll in the lean organisation. The interpretative perspective has been our starting point for choice of theories as well as methods. Interviews and observations were conducted at the University hospital of Skåne. The analysis shows that the co-worker’s communicative roll is based on situation and daily work is influenced by a transmission view of communication.

For further studies we recommend presuming a critical perspective since power structures have shown to influence the co-worker’s communicative roll. (Less)
