Six Sigma and Lean Transformation in Health Care By Amy O’Connell Organization Behavior MGMT 630 Wendy Waugh Dec 1, 2016 Introduction Lean Transformation and Six Sigma are process improvement strategies that can make any industry more efficient and cost effective. Implementing Lean processes and Six Sigma in managed healthcare can greatly improve the quality of healthcare, it can lower costs, and improve patient care. Lean Transformations in healthcare have also been able to greatly

The programming variation that Dr. Miller is using is due to wave programming. This is a program based on a system where appointments are assigned to patients to see their doctor in a similar period of time, in which they will be seen as they arrive. Some of these patients may take more time than others, so, their purpose is to choose a number of patients to complete during that period of time. This means that in one hour they can be attended by 3 or 4 patients, depending on the reason for the appointment

This project shows a medium-strength link to strategic imperatives. The goal of the project is to decrease process variability, increase the percentage of cases under the specification limit of 60 minutes, increase physician satisfaction, and to increase operating room capacity. The team claimed that the project provided several steps forward toward these goals for the hospital. Specifically, a fifteen percent improvement in average OR turnaround time, a thirty-two percent improvement in DPMO, an

This case study deals with improving the process and efficiency of the operating room in a hospital. The problem was resolved using a Six Sigma DMAIC problem solving methodology. The basic equation of Six Sigma, Y = f(x), defines the relationship between a dependent variable ‘Y’ or the outcome of a process and a set of independent variables ‘x’ or possible causes which affect the outcome. The Company Over the past decade, surgical services have increased dramatically. This is extremely important

Process Improvement Methods and Proposal OPS/HC571 December 12, 2009 Process Improvement Methods and Proposal for Middletown Hospital The CEO of Middletown hospital has been receiving complaints of long wait times and poor service in the Emergency Department at certain hours of the day. To resolve this problem a Six Sigma Team has been authorized to find the root causes of the problems and give improvement recommendations. The purpose of process improvement proposal Improvement means an

analysis. “A spend analysis is the process of determining what is being spent, with whom and for what” (Hingorani, 2010, p. 58). In order to accomplish this task companies must use software programs to import and aggregate data from multiple systems. This paper will explore several components of the spend analysis process

case: Usually we are much familiar that Six Sigma process is carried out in most of product manufacturing and in service based industry, but in this case we would be looking on how the food industry tries to utilize the Six Sigma to enhance the feasibility and quality of their process. In the following case we could see about the use of Six Sigma in the food industry which struggles to identify the correct CTQ’s such a way to enhance its process for an improved measurement system which could help

In this memo I will discuss the Iran nuclear deal in 2015. Firstly, I will summarize this event and come up with the questions about each actor’s action and preference; then I will analysis the theory behind this issue--Nuclear Capability and Bargaining Process; thirdly, I will analysis the actors’ preferences and interests; finally, I will discuss why did they sign an agreement at that particular time. Puzzle: On July 14,2015 the Iran nuclear deal was signed between the Islamic Republic of Iran

KM process capability and its relevance in an organization. Knowledge Management (KM) can be defined as a deliberate, systematic business optimization strategy that selects, distills stores, organizes, packages, and communicates information essential to the business of a company in a manner that improves employee performance and corporate competitiveness. KM caters to the critical issues of organizational-adaptation, survival and competence in the face of increasingly discontinuous environmental

the Cpk is to the Cp, indicates a higher level of working capacity. These values can be calculated using the Process Capability module on the POM software. Parameter Value Results Value Upper tolerance limit 170 Process capability index 0.08 The actual process capability is Cpk = -0.08 Lower tolerance limit 162 Upper one sided index 0.8392 The potential process capability is Cp = 0.4596 Mean (optional) 162.6959 Lower one sided index 0.08 Standard deviation 2.9012
