CLC – Quality Models – Rubric

++++++

Lean: A management philosophy that emphasizes the elimination of waste and the continuous improvement of processes to increase efficiency and effectiveness.

Six Sigma: A data-driven methodology for process improvement that aims to reduce defects and variations in a process by using statistical analysis.

5S: A workplace organization methodology that focuses on improving efficiency and reducing waste by organizing the workspace and standardizing processes.

In a healthcare setting, these quality models can be applied to improve patient outcomes and increase efficiency in various areas such as patient flow, medication administration, and surgical procedures. For example, Lean principles can be used to reduce wait times in emergency departments, while Six Sigma can be used to identify and reduce medication errors. The 5S methodology can be applied to improve the organization and cleanliness of hospital units to reduce the risk of hospital-acquired infections.

Overall, the goal of using these quality models is to continuously improve the quality of care provided to patients while reducing waste, errors, and costs.
