Objectives:
This study aims to identify the role of adopting lean management in the quality of service, cost containment, and time management and to identify factors affecting lean management adoption, quality of service, cost containment, and time management in oncology settings.
Methods:
A cross-sectional design was adopted in this study at the King Hussein Cancer Center (KHCC), a private institution in Amman, Jordan. A convenience sampling technique was used to select 360 participants. A self-administered questionnaire (58 items) was used to collect the data. Results: The mean value for the quality of services was 3.84±0.56. These values for adoption of lean, time management, and cost containment were 3.82±0.74, 3.73±0.75, and 3.40±0.76 respectively. The results showed that the impacts of lean management adoption on the quality of service, cost containment, and time management were significant (p-value<0.001). The results showed substantial effects of all factors (organizational, departmental, and individual factors) on lean adoption, quality of service, cost containment, and time management (p value<.001).
Conclusion:
Lean management adoption had a significant impact on quality of service, cost containment, and time management in oncology settings.
