Education is an important component of the multidisciplinary rounds; every team member gets a chance to provide his or her expertise and to bring up any new research or evidence-based practice. A sign-in sheet is maintained to track the participation of all disciplines involved in the plan of care.
The Define Measure Analyze Improve Control (DMAIC) Process. DMAIC is a data-driven quality strategy used to improve processes. It is an integral part of a Six Sigma initiative, but in general can be implemented as a standalone quality improvement procedure or as part of other process improvement initiatives such as lean.
This is accomplished through the use of two Six Sigma sub-methodologies: DMAIC and DMADV. The Six Sigma DMAIC process (define, measure, analyze, improve, control) is an improvement system for existing processes falling below specification and looking for incremental improvement.
