Priority objectives in these initiatives include improving quality and minimizing costs. The health sector, which has a large share in the service sector and affects every section of the society, also makes decisions in the framework of the same objectives. The thought of the wrath is a philosophy that health organizations who want to be competitive can apply in the first place. In the health institutions that are oriented towards the practice of thought, the elimination of waste and waste resources arising from the patient and the workflow can be provided with a continuous flow. In addition, the expectations of the patient, the patient’s neighbor and the health staff can be met and motivation can be increased. In this context, the aim of this study is to make an up-to-date scan of literature on simple thinking practices in the health sector. In line with this goal, the studies that have been done in recent years have been aggregated and tried to reveal the general status of simple thinking practices in the health sector. As a result of the literary scan created, it was revealed that simple thinking practices are often preferred in the health sector, different simple methods are used in the practices, and the practices are implemented in the various units of health institutions. It has been achieved the conclusion that a effective process is designed and expected improvements are provided. Finally, the study has developed recommendations on which circumstances in the health sector which simple method will be suitable for use.
