Lean Healthcare identifies all those aspects that represent a cost for the company, that do not add value but are consuming resources. It is what we call waste:
Lean Healthcare improves a hospital’s processes and reduces unproductive costs objectively and rapidly, improving or redesigning processes or activities with the capacity for improvement.
Investing in Lean projects is very profitable as it solves real problems in the healthcare centre, helps prevent errors, improves patient safety, professional satisfaction, and the healthcare system’s sustainability.
