Process Improvement And Implementation Plan

Successful organizations continuously strive to improve the processes they have in place. Process improvement leads to better quality control, higher efficiencies and lower costs. In order to implement a process improvement plan, it is necessary to collect and analyze data from the process. In this paper, I present an analysis of the metric data collected for the process I identified during week #1. As part of the analysis, the control and confidence limits are calculated, as well as other relevant statistics. With this information, a process improvement

Process Improvement or Business Process Improvement is an aspect of organizational development (OD) in which a series of actions are taken by a process owner to identify, analyze and improve existing business processes within an organization to meet new goals and objectives. Six Sigma, Lean and

Process design focuses the organization on the issues that are most important, helps management and employees think critically and strategically, and generate the right level of consensus and commitment necessary to move the organization forward. The success of any organisation is dependent upon a sound understanding of its operating environment, and on well crafted and well executed plans.

The modern day health care system is currently faced with a wide array of challenges, such as the aging of the population and the intensified need for medical care, the rapidly evolving technologies and the increasing costs of the medical act.

“We will find our baseline measurement using nurse surveys, audits and observation timings. We will track what steps are covered and how long each step takes and the number of occurrences of near misses due to inefficient handoffs relating to patient safety. We will also measure our patient baseline data from current patient satisfaction surveys” N. Guyse (personal communication, February 22, 2014). Currently we are inefficient and unsafe with handoff practices due to missing or incomplete information, multiple processes used between the nursing staff, and multiple report out processes being practiced on the floor. Multiple processes are causing confusion and incidental overtime. With multiple processes, information is being missed between nursing staff, which is a safety concern due to the increased errors. Our organization is working on the creation of one standardized process used between all employees to ensure that all handoffs are efficient and safe. “We have implemented a group report out for nursing staff in conjunction with the beside report outs” N. Guyse (personal communication, February 22, 2014).

After a quality improvement issue has been identified, a quality improvement plan (QIP) needs to be developed to address the issue. Once deciding upon what will be measured and what indicators will determine success, strategies must be identified, developed and implemented to improve performance (Sadeghi, Barzi, Mikhail & Shabot, 2013). The purpose of this paper is to describe the strategy that will be implemented to address rates of worsened pain in the Veterans Centre (VC) and to create a process map that outlines how pain is currently assessed and managed in the VC (Appendix 1).

My experience in this course has given me a boarder knowledge on how to implement a change project. Performance improvement projects are used to create a safe and efficient delivery of care to patients.

I have submitted my qualification paperwork to the Tennessee P.O.S.T. Commission as a candidate for interim Sheriff for Rutherford County. I will not ask for your support, however I will seek to earn your support, there has been a political culture within the Rutherford County Sheriff's Department for far too long, and the result is a tremendous loss of public trust and confidence in the leadership of the sheriff's office. I am committed to restoring the Rutherford County Sheriff's Department to a level of professionalism that the public and the hard-working men and women of the sheriff's office will be proud of."

Significate improvement has been made in this work outcome with draft revisions of General Orders 370, 372, 379, & 380 completed with preparation being made to submit to Research Planning & Development. The Special Operations Unit is working jointly on the GO 370-1 and the THP K-9 Manual revisions with the K-9 Training Unit. The THP Tactical Manual has been divided up by emergency service function and distributed out to Special Operations members for review and update. Captain Johnson has also been in contact with the NTOA Training Division for the forthcoming assessment process.

As directed, purchase has been made of the data mining software. The package includes software, training, and support. Zoe Crystal was a great nominee to head this effort and has expressed enthusiasm to jump in and get started. I have some concerns for Joe Raven. When we had our discovery meeting, Joe expressed he should be the one to head this new directive. He said that his seven year seniority should make him the self-evident choice. I expressed to him that he was a critical partner, but his involvement and lead in the short term operation and maintenance (O&M) cleaning chemical blitz could not afford loss of attention – driving toward profit in the remaining year’s quarters. This

The last few years have witnessed big changes in the business climate, and business process improvement and continuous improvement (CI) efforts have certainly seen their share of change. I talk with companies every day and, without a doubt, there has been a fundamental shift in thought on how to best make meaningful process improvement happen.

The concept of Six Sigma was developed in the early 1980’s at Motorola Corporation (Harry and Schroeder, 2000). Six Sigma can be defined as a statistical measure of the performance of a process or product (Kumi et. al., 2006). It is used as a quality control mechanism, which seeks to reduce defects or variations in a process to 3.4 per million opportunities thereby optimizing output and increasing customer satisfaction (Sambhe, 2012). Sigma is representing the standard deviation, a unit of measurement that designates the distribution or spread about the mean of a process (Six Sigma Academy, 2002). In addition, the Six Sigma uniquely driven by close understanding of customer needs, disciplined use of fact, data, and statistical analysis, and diligent attention to managing improving, and reinventing business processes (Pande, P., et. al. 2000). The Six Sigma methodology uses statistical tools to identify the factors that matter most for improving the quality of processes and generating bottom-line results. The Six Sigma DMAIC (Define, Measure,

Process improvement is a fundamental to business management.  If you run an operation (and all businesses do, one way or another) you are reliant on two things:
