A survey through questionnaire was conducted to determine the level of lean healthcare practices. 128 sets of questionnaire were successfully collected that brought to 40.4% response rate. Structural equation modeling technique was adopted to analyze the data gathered from the survey. Hence, this study produces implications on theory and management and provides a practical guide for healthcare practitioners to enhance their organizational performance through the implementation of lean healthcare practices. This paper presents finding of Exploratory Factor Analyses (EFA), Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), and reliability analysis empirically verified and validated. The results indicate that four LH constructs are acceptable for further analysis. The paper with a proposed future direction ends of this research.</p> ER -
