LEAN AND SIX SIGMA IN HEALTH CARE
INTRODUCTION:
Quality, though recognizable to one and all, is one of the most imperative issues that
all sectors have focused on in the last 20-30 years. As markets become much more
competitive, quality has become a key ingredient for victory in today’s business.
With Lean and Six Sigma, hospitals embark on with the accent of the client to capture
the anticipation of patients, family members, physicians, and other stake holders.

OUT PATIENT DEPARTMENT – In some hospitals where they they want to train
their CRRI’s to collect history, do physical assessment, ask for laboratory diagnosis, and
make preliminary diagnosis. Here what happens these beginners at their learning period they
would like to be in safer side. They almost get complete history, wasting patient time, go for
all-embracing physical assessment, solicit for all related laboratory diagnosis like urine
routines, blood routines, x rays etc, most of the times which results in unnecessary things.
These not only devastate the money and time of the client but the precious productivity of the
hospital.
There are thousands of populace who are not able to access even indispensable health
care due to various dispropositions. Here it is sagacious for us as health care professionals to
cut down preventable procedures so that we can deliver our service some other who are
really in need.
Here we can make these CRRI’s to practice with the senior doctors, so that they can
observe what are appropriate things to be carried out to save cost and money for both the
parties. It also helps the hospital to fabricate a good image among community and enhance
its promotion through WOM communication
Check sheets are simple tool used to keep a record of the number and type of defects/
nonconformities over a specified period of time or within a certain batch.
Histogram is a variation of a bar chart in which data values are grouped together and put
into different classes. This grouping allows you see how frequently data in each class occur
in the data set. It’s just a pictorial representation of data collected through check sheets.
Pareto Diagram is a combined bar chart and line diagram based on cumulative
percentages. 80% improvement in quality or performance can reasonably be expected by

Blue color shows 20% of the cause i.e D, C, A is the reason for
remaining 80% of the effect. So the health care workers can concentrate on eliminating
nosocomial infection of type D, C, ans A, one can abolish the jeopardy of nosocomial
infection which increases patient length of stay in hospital,so that they can improve service
quality.constructed.
Process flow diagrams can be unit wise so that the process flow
becomes consistent and it will be effortless for fresh enterents to follow without any
haziness. Employees can assertively take autonomous decisions because they are following
the standard procedures knowing their justification.
We have to form a team compraising heaads of clinical heads, pathologist, radiologist and
hospital adminstrators. The main objective of the team is to scrutinize all fatal case medical
records.
NO
1. Radiographic review To justify the radiological
assessments done
2. Tissue review To justify surgeries done
3. Chart review To assess the completeness
of medical records
4. Death review To validate the untoward
outcome
The professional review helps to assess professional competence of health care providers and
to make recommendations for future policy planning
