Value-Based Healthcare and the Lean methodology: Incompatible or Inseparable?
Both centered on patients and the excellence of health care, VBHC and the Lean methodology have more that unites them than divides them. The VBHC framework is more focused on the outcomes, while the Lean methodology is more focused on the processes to achieve these outcomes, in other words, VBHC focuses on determining “what”, whereas Lean focuses on determining “how” we are going to achieve it. The fact that these methodologies respond to different questions, having the same objective, makes them complementary and not incompatible. In our perspective, the master key to achieving value in healthcare is in working with both the VBHC framework and the Lean methodology, side by side, and design a framework conceptual and operational that can be used to staff training.
