A value stream is the set of all activities, from request to delivery, used to provide a product or service to our clients. Understanding and improving our processes as integrated end-to-end systems is fundamental to real and sustainable improvement in healthcare.

Enterprise Value Stream Mapping® is a lean technique that provides this end-to-end ‘systems’ perspective for analysis and coordinated improvement. EVSM® provides a roadmap and shared vision, and an actionable plan. Applied to healthcare systems, this results in a cycle of continuous sustainable improvement in meeting our patients’ needs.
