From Six Sigma to Re-Inventing Quality - Webinar By MentorHealth February 6, 2013

Overview: Understanding Six Sigma variation, the causes of variation, and why it takes about 10 years to implement a six sigma program is the key to understanding there is more to quality than the traditional quality. This webinar covers elegant techniques and management methods for achieving Zero Defects for adverse events and using innovation to lower the costs. The webinar will also cover how to use the traditional DMAIC tool efficiently with Deming's theory of profound knowledge and Crosby's model of "quality is free."

Why should you attend : Even if a hospital achieves the six sigma quality, there is still a chance of
76 newborn babies in the U.S. will be given to wrong parents each month
At least 1000 patients will be getting wrong medications per week
