Simple Steps to Fast, Affordable, Flawless Healthcare

    I started using your materials several years ago when I worked in hospital quality improvement. My favorite find was a $1 million-dollar-a-year cost overrun on medicare patients who were being released a day later than they should have.
    I used the data detail of the cost overrun to create a Pareto chart that showed that over 80% of the cost could be attributed to one small practice of three physicians. That sure caused a new rumble in the room and the cost overrun nearly disappeared overnight.
    Thanks again for all you do to make quality improvement easy.
- Kitty Frank

Ask anyone in healthcare, they know that something is killing patients, productivity and profits, but it’s also hard to put a finger on the culprit. While many people look for someone to blame, the problem is rarely a person. Invariably it’s the process.

In any business, there are three silent killers of productivity and profitability:

Delay
Defects
Deviation

In healthcare, these three silent killers also kill patients.

Are sluggish, error-prone processes costing your patients time and money? Want to make your hospital more productive and profitable?

Lean Six Sigma for Hospitals offers a streamlined and simple way to learn this revolutionary quality improvement method and tools.

Here's my premise: You don't have to know everything to do anything with Six Sigma. As one black belt put it: Why are we sending people to weeks of training when they only use a handful of methods and tools most of the time.

Lean Six Sigma for Hospitals covers the essential methods and tools that you need to start reducing delay, defects and deviation immediately.

You don't need to be a statistician to use Lean Six Sigma. You don't need to know any complex formulas. You just need to know which tools to use when. And the QI Macros can handle all of the heavy analysis.

What people are saying about Jay's other book: Lean Six Sigma Demystified:

I found this a great book on practical rapid and minimal tools for deployment of six sigma. Its great from that perspective and has many great tips including my favourites, the 70/70/70 and 4/50 rules of thumb.

It's NOT about using lean tools and methodologies supported by Six Sigma tools and methodologies, which is what I was expecting. Having said that, it was a great and easy read and has inspired me to push for more rapid (but effective) turnover of projects.

Given our target is 90 day turnover, I would like to see how I go with the leaned down six sigma process.
David J. Vize "Beany" (Townsville, Australia)

I wish I could pretend that Lean Six Sigma is really hard, but it's not. A handful of methods and tools will take you from 3-to-5 sigma. If you make it that far, you can go learn all of the other exotic tools and methods.

Until then, just learn to FISH: Focus, Improve, Sustain and Honor.
