Abstract

Purpose: In recent years, although several studies have focused on Lean Six Sigma project selection, none of them have provided Lean Six Sigma approach to e-health reference architectures. Therefore, there is a significant gap of the application of the Lean Six Sigma in e-Health architectures in e-Health care quality improvement literature. In this paper, we present a Lean Six Sigma approach to e-health reference architectures to have high-quality healthcare in modern medicine. The purpose of this paper is to present a novel framework to present a roadmap to evaluate e-Health architectures from Lean and Six Sigma perspectives. Design/methodology/approach: At first, a novel model is presented to evaluate core e-Health modules and layers of e-Health reference architectures from a Six Sigma perspective. Then, the proposed model is used to evaluate core e-Health modules and layers of e-Health reference architectures from a Lean perspective. In order to overcome issues related to imprecise or vague judgments in, the proposed e-Health decision making model is presented in the fuzzy environment. Findings: Findings from this paper develop the LINMAP model to a Fuzzy Group bi-objective LINMAP to integrate Lean and Six Sigma perspectives and select the best practice Lean Six Sigma e-Health reference architecture.

A Roadmap to Evaluate Lean Six Sigma E-Health Reference Architectures Using a Fuzzy Group Bi-Objective LINMAP
