After waste in the process was identified, root cause analysis was performed. Countermeasures were then developed and tested to eliminate waste in the process, and a new process was created. This was used to create standard work documents for training and reference. This paper will show how Lean quality improvement methods can be used in healthcare to improve pediatrician performance on a quality metric tracking development of plans for addressing obesity in children at well-child checks 000000579 540__ $$fCC BY 000000579 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000579 650__ $$aMedical Records$$021947 000000579 650__ $$aPediatrics$$023687 000000579 650__ $$aMedical Informatics$$021938 000000579 650__ $$aQuality Improvement$$039456 000000579 650__ $$aElectronic Health Records$$038928 000000579 650__ $$aObesity$$023118 000000579 650__ $$aPediatric Obesity$$040261 000000579 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000579 692__ $$aDepartment of Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology$$041422 000000579 7001_ $$aCollins, Andrew$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000579 7201_ $$aLogan, Judith$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000000579 8564_ $$9b2f29d77-10f6-44fd-aba2-48db92f91d1c$$s623616$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/579/files/580_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$20d11a38f9a6d1286a8b7ccd1cf6e1e7c$$31 000000579 905__ $$a/rest/prod/1j/92/g7/48/1j92g748c 000000579 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:579$$pstudent-work 000000579 980__ $$aBiomedical Informatics
