Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Definitive Six Sigma Guide for Healthcare: Methodologies, Tools, and Metrics Rising costs are making healthcare unaffordable for millions, and 100,000 people die every year due to medical error. Healthcare must change–dramatically. Many leading healthcare institutions are discovering a powerful toolset for addressing both quality and cost: Six Sigma. In this hands-on, start-to-finish guidebook, four leading experts introduce Six Sigma from the unique standpoint of the healthcare professional, showing exactly how to implement it in real-world environments. Drawing on their unsurpassed experience, the authors offer step-by-step methodologies, tools, and metrics–all thoroughly adapted to the unique realities of healthcare. They demonstrate how to utilize Six Sigma’s Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control (DMAIC) process to address even the most challenging problems. They also offer realistic guidance on rolling out Six Sigma initiatives that deliver rapid and sustainable value. The authors show Six Sigma at work in every area of the hospital: clinical, radiology, surgery, ICU, cardiovascular, laboratories, emergency, trauma, administrative services, staffing, billing, cafeteria, even central supply. You'll learn why Six Sigma can produce better results than other quality initiatives, how it brings new rigor and discipline to healthcare delivery, and how it can be used to sustain ongoing improvements for the long term. Coverage includes · Adapting Six Sigma methodology, tools, and measurements for healthcare · Designing more successful experiments · Rolling out your Six Sigma initiative successfully · Case studies from every area of the hospital, from the ICU to billing · Six Sigma templates modified fully for the healthcare environment Comprehensive and user-friendly, this book will be indispensable to everyone concerned with quality or cost: administrators, managers, physicians, and quality specialists alike. Where Six Sigma is already in use or being considered, it will serve as a shared blueprint for the entire team.

Download or read book Opportunities and Challenges of Interprofessional Collaboration and Education written by Jill Thistlethwaite and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-04-01 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interprofessional collaboration is essential in meeting today's health challenges, which demand high flexibility and innovation. Many health organizations including the World Health Organization (WHO) demand that interprofessional collaboration should be taught and learned globally. Even so, interprofessional education tools have not yet been widely implemented in the curricula of medical professions (incl. physicians, nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists, etc.); this training usually takes place separately. Collaboration is necessary in health professions education as it can allow professionals to increase their skills and help them achieve more than they would at an individual level. Collaboration also allows for more open-minded approaches when facing new ways of thinking. When knowledge is shared, healthcare employees are more encouraged to share their own ideas and concerns. These achievements of interprofessionalism within health profession education not only benefit the student and employee, but also optimize patient care and increase patient safety. Productivity can also be increased and therefore, reduce costs overall.
