Why Quality?

Six Sigma Designed Specifically for Healthcare

Performance and process improvement are not new to healthcare. Healthcare organizations strive to get consistent and predictable positive outcomes – in patient care and in their business operations.

Six Sigma is a highly effective improvement approach that has been tried and tested across many industries. However, applying Six Sigma to healthcare requires an understanding of how its tools and methodologies translate to the people-intensive processes of patient care. ASQ has developed Six Sigma training designed specifically for healthcare organizations.

Healthcare professionals have many priorities, all centered on the goal of providing the best patient care. Recognizing the uniqueness of the healthcare delivery system, we developed Six Sigma training to address the complexities that challenge healthcare professionals.
