MI 720 - Six Sigma Quality and Patient Safety3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
Everyone wants high-quality, safe healthcare that is accessible and affordable. Since the Institute of Medicine’s landmark study, To Error is human, there has been a nationwide focus on patient safety issues and the quality of healthcare services more generally. Six Sigma is a modern management methodology that can be widely applied in healthcare environments to address these issues of quality and patient safety. At the same time, this methodology also incorporates the organizational change management required to achieve successful outcomes, improved quality and reduced errors. Students in this course will learn to use and apply the Six Sigma tools to define, measure, analyze, improve and control the complex processes of healthcare delivery. Patient safety will be the main issue addressed by the Six Sigma methodology. These same tools can also be applied to create quality processes related to the development, implementation and management of informatics solutions.
