California State University Six Sigma & Lean Six Sigma in Hospitals Discussion

 

In healthcare, there must be effective and efficient productivity in processes to ensure safe outcomes; thus, measuring organizational performance is important. Read this article:

Honda, A. C., Bernardo, V. Z., Gerolamo, M. C., & Davis, M. M. (2018). How lean six sigma principles improve hospital performance. (Links to an external site.) The Quality Management Journal, 25(2), 70-82. https://doi.org/10.1080/10686967.2018.1436349

Next, choose a current issue in your organization and apply the lean six sigma approach to making improvements.

Describe the current issue and the errors that are occurring.

What is six sigma versus lean six sigma? Is one process more efficient than the other? Why or why not?

How would performance improve in your issue discussed using either approach?

Describe any limitations noted to gaining effective solutions and improving quality in the issue addressed.
