This is indeed a good development. I’m big on healthcare and very much concerned about how hospitals medical records and patient safety.
This is a result of the study conducted by American Society for Quality (ASQ).
The study, from the American Society for Quality, included 77 hospitals. Researchers concluded that 53 percent of hospitals reported some level of Lean deployment, while 42 percent reported some level of Six Sigma deployment. Not surprisingly, given the gradual evolution of these practices in hospitals, only 4 percent reported “full deployment” of Lean, and only 8 percent full deployment of Six Sigma.
