WHITE PAPER
Lean Six Sigma Applied to Healthcare

By Harry Rever – Director of Six Sigma, International Institute for Learning

Is there an industry, perhaps other than “government”, that could use process improvement more than the healthcare industry?

The healthcare industry is full of complex and obviously important processes. Patient care, surgery, hospital stays, insurance, billing and IT systems support are just a few of the numerous processes that need to be addressed and improved in hospitals throughout the country and the world.

What the healthcare industry needs is a massive injection of process improvement. What the healthcare industry needs is the appropriate application of Lean Six Sigma!

What is Lean Six Sigma?

Lean Six Sigma is a process improvement methodology that has been around for years. It’s an approach to management which focuses on making decisions based on facts, data, and process understanding. Taking the emotion out of decision making and replacing it with a focus on the customer, measurement of the process, and root cause analysis are key aspects of Lean Six Sigma.
