Introduction: Lean sustainability has gained prominence in the health sector for operational and business advantages. However, understanding the link between lean and healthcare sustainability, especially in social and environmental aspects, remains limited. This study introduces a preliminary framework for measuring lean healthcare sustainability in hospitals. The framework aligns Critical Success Factors (CSFs) with sustainability objectives and business strategies to ensure successful and enduring lean deployment. Methods: The study was conducted among 52 Lean Agile Hospitals in Malaysia using a cross-sectional approach. The validated questionnaire was employed for data collection. A reliability test and Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) were also performed to assess and validate the framework using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 27. Results: The content validation was 0.9, which indicates that the instrument is sufficient to measure the research objective. The data screening test was performed to eliminate problem observation. The overall reliability value was over 0.830 which depicts data consistency and stability. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin exceeded 0.6, Bartlett’s test was under 0.001 and factor loading was between 0.507 to 0.948, thus indicating a significant correlation matrix among at least some of the variables. Therefore, the latent factors were significant to specific items of the research. Conclusion: It is concluded that important CSF is aligned with the strategic level influence of lean deployment in healthcare, which has a specific impact on certain sustainability performance. Thus, this paper proposed a generic preliminary framework to measure lean healthcare sustainability. © 2023 UPM Press. All rights reserved.
