By using a Systematic Literature Review approach to analyze studies published from 2011 to 2024, this review synthesizes findings from seven significant papers selected based on stringent inclusion criteria related to LSS project impact to patient satisfaction in United States healthcare facilities. The results demonstrate that LSS interventions can significantly improve patient satisfaction while also reducing inefficiencies in various healthcare processes such as wait times, scheduling, and discharge procedures.
