A process must not produce more than 3.4 defects per million opportunities. In Healthcare it means not more than 3.4 medication errors in 1 million doses. Not more than 3.4 foreign bodies left in patient during 1 million surgeries. Not more than 3.4 no shows per 1 million appointments. The Six Sigma Cycle Define objectives, set goals Training Implementation Designate Black Belts. Develop Train SS methodology. Projects Involve organizationwide projects. Staff advancement in SS Continue training new staff Continue identifying new projects Define Measure Analyze Improve Control Key Six Sigma Roles CEO Champion Master Black Belts Black Belts * Experts * Guides Green Belts Central Components - Existing Define Measure Analyze Improve Control Central Components - New Define Measure Analyze Design Verify Define What is the business case for this project? Current state map vs future state map. What is the project’s scope? Due date determined. Measure What are the metrics for this process? Are they valid and reliable? How will I measure progress? How will I measure success? Analyze Can the process be improved? Who will help make the changes? What resources are required? What could cause this change effort to fail? Improve What is the work breakdown structure? What specific activities are necessary to meet project goals? How will I reintegrate various subprojects? Control How will I control quality, cost, schedule, scope and changes to the plan? How will I ensure that the business goals of the project were accomplished? How will I keep the gains I made? Implementation Step 1 Begin with senior leaders. Train them in the principles and tools. Direct the management infrastructure. Cultivate the environment for innovation and creativity. Reduce organizational hierarchy. Remove barriers to experimentation and change. Implementation Step 2 Develop external quality measures. Communicate with patients, employees, stakeholders and suppliers. Develop rigorous methods to obtain input Conduct baseline studies of starting point. Identify cultural, policy and procedural obstacles to change. Implementation Step 3 Rigorously assess and conduct top-tobottom training in systems-improvement tools, techniques and philosophies. Implementation Step 4 Develop a framework for continuous process improvement. Monitor progress and success. Metrics should focus on strategic goals, drivers and key business processes. Implementation Step 5 Managers & staff with intimate process knowledge at all levels of the organization choose processes for improvement. Improve business performance linked to measurable financial results. Implementation Step 6 Individual employees and teams, led by Green Belts, conduct Six Sigma projects.
