Abstract

This study was developed at a private health care center with problems in its emergency department, which had a process efficiency of 39.6%. As such, implementing a lean healthcare model was proposed using knowledge management and change management as it pillars. As a result, employees were committed to change, which facilitated the transfer of knowledge when implementing the lean tools, reducing waiting time in the process by 67.01% at its highest level, while an efficiency of 63.87% was achieved.
