Abstract:

The objective was to analyze the application of the Lean philosophy in the Health Care Network (RAS) for the early diagnosis of breast cancer. This is a case study, with data production through interviews, document analysis and observation, carried out between June and July 2019. The scenario was the seat of the municipality of the North Metropolitan Region, CE, Brazil, involving three points of the RAS (Unidade Health Center, Medical Specialties Center and Polyclinic). The following problems were identified: long waiting times, first-come, first-served care and insufficient medical workload. The implementation of the theoretical model of Lean philosophy would reduce the total process time36 days to 15 in the Basic Health Unit/Medical Specialty Center flow and33 to 13 days in the Basic Health Unit/Polyclinic. It was found that the presented model is an efficient reference for improving the management and early diagnosis of breast cancer in the RAS.
