Value Stream Mapping

Lean Six Sigma process
improvement tool

Value Stream Mapping services from CareFusion help identify inefficiencies within your current material and information flow. Our expertise in Lean Six Sigma methodology can help your team understand where improvement opportunities exist and how to apply best practices to reduce costly waste, streamline workflow, improve regulatory compliance and increase revenue stream.

Our Value Stream Mapping approach starts with identifying and defining the process to be mapped. We then work with your team to create a current state map that outlines process steps, delays and wastes. Collaboratively, a future state map is created to eliminate waste and improve process flow. Stronger interdepartmental communications, less documentation error, improved charge capture and better tracking and security of supplies are just a few benefits you can gain from utilizing Value Stream Mapping services.
