Six Sigma EMS Executive Course
This course is designed to introduce EMS managers, command staff and medical directors to the concepts behind the Six Sigma approach to improving organizational performance- so that you can make an informed decision on selection of Six Sigma as a process improvement strategy for your organization.
You will learn that Six Sigma is much more then a set of tools and processes for EMS quality managers. You will see how Six Sigma provides a process for prioritizing, selecting, supporting and managing improvement initiatives in all parts of your organization. It doesn't matter if those processes are operational, financial, clinical, or administrative - Six Sigma can help make your processes perform more effectively and efficiently.
In organizations that have fully implemented Six Sigma, senior managers serve on a performance council. This group has responsibility for selecting and supporting improvement projects that align with organizational priorities and offer a good return on the investment of time and resources to needed to conduct the project. The responsibilities and requisite skills for performance council members are different from those used by members of the performance improvement teams that conduct the actual projects. The team leaders for improvement projects also have different responsibilities and skills above those of other team members. Six Sigma offers different training programs for these different roles to help ensure that everyone has what they need to contribute towards successful projects.
This course offers examples of how Six Sigma projects can operate within an EMS environment. It also offers suggestions on next steps- should your senior management team decide to move forward with implementation of a Six Sigma strategy.
