Lean management is based on protocols that aim to organize, standardize, and exclude unnecessary steps that have no real value. In health, lean thinking translates as minimizing unnecessary actions, reducing delays, correcting mistakes, improving quality, but also reducing costs and working time. This study presents the application of lean thinking and management in the perioperative care of patients with colon cancer, through the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol, with a significant impact on the quality of patient care and the rational use of limited resources of health structures.
