Everyone talks about low-hanging fruit, but only a few find it. Here’s why:
“Well hi, I’m Jay Arthur, author of “Lean Six Sigma Demystified” and QI Macros [software].
“I find that a lot of people are afraid to use Excel pivot tables to summarize data. Every company has raw data about mistakes and errors and defects and whatever it is, but it’s all individual events. People are afraid to learn how to use pivot tables to summarize that.
“I’m telling you what, that’s where the ‘invisible low-hanging fruit’ lives. Everybody talks about ‘low hanging fruit,’ but this is where the ‘invisible low hanging fruit’ lives.

Here’s what I’ve learned from 25 years of working with healthcare–three key charts will help diagnose mistakes and errors, waste and rework in healthcare. Just as there is no one-size-fits-all treatment for each patient’s illness, there is no one-size-fits-all treatment for the issues that each hospital faces. Diagnosis and treatment must be done hospital-by-hospital, and the most effective diagnoses are made by first running tests and trusting what the data is telling you. Once you understand the 4-50 rule and its implications, you’ll see how easy this process will be.
Join me, Jay Arthur, author of Lean Six Sigma for Hospitals, to learn how to use healthcare data to save time, save money, and (most importantly) save lives.

Are you just using Excel for spreadsheets or line and bar charts?
“Hi, I’m Jay Arthur, author of “Lean Six Sigma For Hospitals” and QI Macros [software].
“Most of the people I see out there are using Excel kind of like as a paperweight or something. Nobody wants to read your spreadsheet but people keep inventing spreadsheets. They use merge and center to center titles and stuff like that, and they type all their numbers in here. You can do that on Google Sheets. If that’s all you want to do, use Google Sheets.
“But Excel is a power tool.
