Lean healthcare principles

Lean healthcare is a approach that aims to improve patient care by making healthcare processes more efficient, eliminating waste, and focusing on what truly adds value. It involves analyzing workflows to identify unnecessary steps, reducing delays, errors, and excess resources, thereby enhancing safety and satisfaction. The goal is to deliver high-quality care in a timely and cost-effective manner, ensuring that both patients and staff have a better experience. Lean principles encourage continuous improvement, teamwork, and a patient-centered mindset to make healthcare systems more effective and responsive.
