Aimed to streamline oncology outpatient clinics by targeting strategies to standardize scheduling processes, it simplifies steps and redesigns the clinical efficiencies and effectiveness needed to improve and optimize clinic wait times (Brandenburg, Gabow, Steele, Toussaint, & Tyson, 2015). It is an organized, lean thinking process that ties a business methodology to oncology outpatient clinics to deliver optimal cancer care to patients and to improve operational efficiencies. This process separates oncology visits and chemotherapy treatment visits into different days with the goal of improving the quality of care delivered by reducing patient wait times, total length of day of operation, and overall efficiency (Bach,
