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.
slide 3 of 3. Reducing Defects The goal of many Six Sigma DMAIC projects is to improve performance and satisfaction by reducing the defect rate. Once the defect(s) for a process have been defined via the Voice of the Customer process in the Define phase, the current defect rate can be measured in the Measure phase.
