Value-added time is time that adds value for the patient or customer that they are willing to pay for. Non-value-added time does not add value for the patient or customer. Take the typical ER visit. The patient registers, is seen by a physician, has various tests, is given the results, is treated, and is either discharged or admitted. These activities are all value-added time. This is what the patient is paying for. This is the value we bring to the customer.
