What are some of the design components of the Lean Methodology?

In today’s environment where health care services are moving out of the hospitals, free standing facilities like Ambulatory Care Facilities are thriving. In designing these free-standing health care facilities, the standard is to look at the Lean Methodology. Eagle quotes Chief Operating Officer of CARTI Cancer Center as saying;

The Lean methodology to maximize value and minimize inefficiency in design, construction, and operations. Lean facilities are important for two reasons: The first is patient convenience. If you do not have an efficient workflow process, you will have patient satisfaction issues. The other component is that we understand one immutable fact, and that is that every year they are going to pay us less to do more .

Lean design, which emphasizes standardization, streamlines project development. Not having to reinvent a clinic design entirely for each new location gives health care organizations a speed-to-market advantage, more predictable construction costs and the chance to standardize materials from site to site .
