Summary:Overcrowded public emergency services are global issues and their serious healthcare problems are widely discussed in literature. Therefore, there are high rates of morbidity and mortality due to lack of specialized care, especially regarding low-acuity patients identified as those responsible for overcrowded services in scientific literature. Thus, a Lean Healthcare approach was developed in order to understand Fast Track applications in Emergency Care Units (UPA 24H) through a descriptive qualitative research using a statistical data analysis software called IRAMUTEQ, which processes data obtained from technical reports prepared during the Lean Project at 24-Hour UPA..
