Abstract

The translation of healthcare quality into meaningful and actionable strategies requires use of a holistic, rigorous, and well-organized approach to quality improvement. The framework established through Lean Six Sigma (LSS) has increasing relevance for use within healthcare organizations, particularly for design and redesign of health information technology (HIT). This article presents the central framework of LSS with primary consideration of health information technology (HIT) applications and quality improvement. Through use of statistical principles and methods typically found in statistical quality control, healthcare organizations can begin to understand how HIT applications can facilitate achievement of quality and efficiency-related goals and objectives.
