Penelitian ini membahas tentang proses pemulangan pasien rawat inap dengan pendekatan lean six sigma terhadap pasien dengan metode pembayaran asuransi swasta dan jaminan perusahaan di instalasi rawat inap RS Hermina Bogor. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mendapatkan hasil analisis kegiatan yang tidak memberikan nilai tambah (non value added) sehingga pemborosan (waste) dapat diidentifikasi dan segera dapat diminimalisasi atau dihilangkan. Penelitian ini bersifat kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Adapun metode penelitian kualitatif dilaksanakan dengan observasi, wawancara mendalam, dan telaah data sekunder. Sedangkan metode penelitian kuantitatif dilaksanakan dengan perhitungan statistik waktu pada proses pemulangan pasien rawat inap. Penelitian ini juga menggunakan pendekatan time and motion studies, yakni mengukur keahlian dan kecepatan karyawan dalam proses pemulangan pasien rawat inap. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, didapatkan rata-rata waktu proses pemulangan pasien rawat inap di RS Hermina Bogor adalah 289 menit dengan kegiatan value added 35 menit (12,17%) dan non value added 254 menit (87,83%). Proses yang membutuhkan waktu paling lama terjadi pada cycle LPRWI 1, yaitu 110 menit. Sedangkan proses yang memiliki waste waktu paling lama terjadi pada cycle Administrasi, yaitu 95 menit. Penerapan lean dalam penelitian ini dapat menurunkan presentase kegiatan non value added sebesar 19,31%, yakni menjadi 67,83%.
