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.
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. The Six Sigma DMADV process (define, measure, analyze, design, verify) is an improvement system used to develop new processes or products at Six Sigma quality levels. It can also be employed if a current process requires more than just incremental improvement.
