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.
Here is a step-by-step breakdown of Six Sigma DMAIC: 1  Define: Identify the project goals and all customer deliverables. 2  Measure: Understand current performance. 3  Analyze: Determine root causes of any defects. 4  Improve: Establish ways to eliminate defects and correct the process. 5  Control: Manage future process performance.
