The Lean Six Sigma Healthcare Method

By Essie Osborn


The lean six sigma method has always been a very effective method when it comes to increasing quality and eliminating all the defects that a certain company would have. Now this can especially be applied when it comes to the health care industry. For those who are wondering how it works, here is how the lean six sigma healthcare method is used.

Now this method can be used when it comes to handling clinics or hospitals. This means that the one who manages the hospital or clinic can actually eliminate defects in the processes that the institution would handle. This means that everyone has to be trained in this in order to avoid any errors.

Now one of the things that hospitals would have to look out for would be the errors in the medical processes that will be done. The thing about medical processes is that it can mean the loss of the life of a patient. So it is very important for a hospital to eliminate all of the errors in the medical processes so that no lives will be taken.

Now the whole core of this method would be none other than the process of DMAIC. If one is not familiar with this method, basically it is the defining, measuring, analyzing, improving, and controlling of errors of the process. By following these five steps, it is possible for the management to be able to identify the problems of the hospital.

Now the very first step of this process would be to know about the problem and the root cause before coming up with a solution. If there is an inefficiency in a certain process, one should not only look at the inefficiency but also the cause of it. Now this is known as defining what the problem is and what are the main causes of this problem that is being presented.

Now the second step in the process of DMAIC would be to of course measure the problem and how bad it is. After measuring the intensity of this problem, the next thing to do would be to understand it and analyze it. It is also here in this step that one would try to determine a possible solution that could be done in order for the issue to be fixed.

Once one has already come up with a solution, then the next thing would be the implementation. After that is already done, then the last step would be to control the entire process so that the problem will not happen again. If one would want consistent performance, then he has to monitor the implementation.

So as one can see, this method can work really well if one is in the healthcare industry. Now the goal of any institution is to make sure that each patient would be well taken care of no matter what so that they will be able to heal themselves of any sickness. By making use of this method, it is possible to give them the best treatment.
