Lean methodology has been successfully utilized throughout industry including automotive and manufacturing to streamline processes and reduce turnover time. The application of Lean methodology in healthcare has the potential to improve processes throughout the system. The peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) placement process at the bedside requires careful planning, coordination, and preparation that can lead to a delay in care for patients with critical central access needs. This quality improvement project measures the impact of Lean methodology on the bedside PICC process at a large urban pediatric medical center.
