Recommend ways to streamline the process and justify their implementation in Lean healthcare practices.

Requirements:

• Calculate the Cycle Time for the patient intake and treatment process.
• Propose methods to streamline the process.
• Explain how streamlining Cycle Time aligns with Lean principles in healthcare.
