Aspects of Quality9
THREE ASPECTS OF QUALITY “MAP”
Measurable Quality
10
Can be defined objectively as compliance with, or adherence to standards.
Clinically, these standards may take the form of practice parameters or protocols, or they may establish acceptable expectations for patient and organizational outcomes.
Standards serve as guidelines for excellence.
Appreciative Quality
11
Is the comprehension and appraisal of excellence beyond minimal standards and criteria.
Requires the judgments of skilled, experienced practitioners and sensitive, caring persons.
Peer review bodies rely on the judgments of like professionals in determining the quality or non-quality of specific patient-practitioner interactions.
Perceptive Quality
12
Is the degree of excellence which is perceived by the recipient or the observer of care rather than by the provider of care.
Is generally based more on the degree of caring expressed by physicians, nurses, and other staff than on the physical environment and technical competence.

where you are.
•Methodology to measure organization’s performance, practices and systems
where you could be
•Problem solving methodology for improving business and organizational performance.
Quality Philosophy and the way of improving performance by knowing
Six Sigma The central idea behind Six Sigma is that if you
can measure how many "defects" you have in a process.
You can systematically figure out how to eliminate them and get as close to "zero defects" as possible.
17
A Six Sigma organization Uses Methods And Tools To Improve Performance
Continuously lower costs Grow revenue, Increase customer satisfaction ,Improve capacity and capability, Reduce complexity lower cycle time and Minimize defects and errors

SIX SIGMA METHODOLOGY
DMAIC Six Sigma Improvement Methodology
DMADV also referred to as DFSS Creating new process which will perform at
Six Sigma
Define specific goals to achieve
outcomes, consistent with
customers demand and
business strategy
Measure reduction of
defects
Analyze problems ,ca
use and effects must
be considered
Improve process on
bases of measurements and analysis
Control process to minimize defects

How to Calculate
Process Sigma?
How to Calculate Process Sigma?Step 1:
Identify what constitutes an "opportunity" and a "defect."
For example, in a hospital, a single administration of a medication is an "opportunity" and delivering the wrong drug or the wrong dose constitutes a "defect.“ In general, opportunities and defects should be black-or-white propositions; you either succeed or fail.
26
How to Calculate Process Sigma?Step 2 : Quantify opportunities and defects with precision.
27
How to Calculate Process Sigma?Step 3 Calculate your yield. Subtract the number of defects from the total number of opportunities, then divide by the number of opportunities and express the result as a percentage.
28
How to Calculate Process Sigma?Step 3 For example, if a hospital administered 145,250 correct doses last month and erred in 250 of them, then the yield is 145,500 minus 250 divided by 145,500, or 99.828 percent.
29
How to Calculate Process Sigma?Step 4
Compare your yield to the standard threshold for six-sigma performance. To meet six sigma levels, the yield must be greater than or equal to 99.99966 percent.
30
31
99.9997 per cent of parts close to the average value, if the average is the same as your print spec, it essentially means “zero defects”.
To achieve Six Sigma Quality, a process must produce no more than 3.4 defects per million opportunities.
SIGMA LEVEL DEFECT RATE YIELD1 691,500 dpmo 30.85%
2 308,770 dpmo 69.10000%
3 66,811 dpmo 99.33000%
4 6,210 dpmo 99.38000%
5 233 dpmo 99.97700%
6 3.44 dpmo 99.99966%
How to Calculate Process Sigma?Step 5 Find : Process sigma , Substitute the given values in the formula, DPMO = (Total defect / Total Opportunities) x 1000000
33
How to Calculate Process Sigma?
Process sigma = 0.8406 + √(29.37)-2.221*(log(DPMO))
34
Example
Find 60 errors for 6 critical characteristics on 20 orders in a random sample of 400 orders . Assuming there are 6 Opportunities per order (six critical characteristics).
BY Dr. Doaa Hussein Abdelghani MBA, CPHQ,DTQM,HRMD,APD,CPT
35
Example
The Defects per Opportunity (DPO) is calculated as:
Opportunities = (400 Orders * 6 Opportunities / Order) = 2400 Opportunities
Defects per Opportunity (DPO) = 60 Defects / 2400 Opportunities = 0.025 Defects per Opportunity
BY Dr. Doaa Hussein Abdelghani MBA, CPHQ,DTQM,HRMD,APD,CPT
36
ExampleDPMO = (0.025 Defects / Opportunity) *106 Opportunities / Million Opportunities = 25,000 DPMO
This corresponds to a Sigma Level of approximately 3.45, based on Six Sigma

Criteria For Selecting a Project
How chronic is the problem?The project should correct a continuing problem not a recent specific episode.
How significant the results will be ?When project is completed the results should be
significant and evident and worth the effort .
Measure of potential Impact?Retain customer . Reduce cost of poor quality, ROI, enhance customer satisfaction , enhance employee
satisfaction .
BY Dr. Doaa Hussein Abdelghani MBA, CPHQ,DTQM,HRMD,APD,CPT
46

Problem Statement:Problem statement should quantitatively describe the
pain in the current process What is the pain ? Where is it hurting? When – is it current? How long it has been? What is the extent of the pain?
What a Problem Statement should not do is Assign a Cause or Blame and Include a Solution.
BY Dr. Doaa Hussein Abdelghani MBA, CPHQ,DTQM,HRMD,APD,CPT
50
Example “In the last 3 months (when), 12% of our customers are late,
by over 45 days in paying their bills (what) . This represents 20% (magnitude) of our outstanding receivables & negatively affects our operating cash flow (consequence) .”
(when), Our ALOS (what) for total hip replacement surgery is 7 days which is 2 days longer (magnitude) than average in the area which affects our reimbursements' (consequence) .
BY Dr. Doaa Hussein Abdelghani MBA, CPHQ,DTQM,HRMD,APD,CPT
51
Goal Statement Defines the improvement the team is seeking to
accomplish. It starts with a verb.
It Should not presume a cause or include a solution. It has a deadline.
It is actionable and sets the focus. It should be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time Bound).
BY Dr. Doaa Hussein Abdelghani MBA, CPHQ,DTQM,HRMD,APD,CPT
52
Goal Statement Example: To reduce the percentage of late payments to 15% in next 3
months, and give tangible savings of 500KUSD/ year.
To reduce the ALOS to 6 days in next 3 months, and increase hospital profit by 2%.
BY Dr. Doaa Hussein Abdelghani MBA, CPHQ,DTQM,HRMD,APD,CPT
53
Project Scope: Project Scope helps us to understand the start and
end point for the process .
Gives an insight on project constraints and dimensions.
It’s an attempt to define what will be covered in the project deliverables. Scoping sharpens the focus of the project team & sets the expectations right.
BY Dr. Doaa Hussein Abdelghani MBA, CPHQ,DTQM,HRMD,APD,CPT
54
Selecting Project Team Cross Functional team .A cross-functional team is simply
a team made up of individuals from different functions or departments within an organization.
Teams like this are useful when you need to bring people with different expertise together to solve a problem, or when you want to explore a potential solution.
BY Dr. Doaa Hussein Abdelghani MBA, CPHQ,DTQM,HRMD,APD,CPT
55
Selecting Project Team For example, you might put together a team made up of
people from pharmacists ,finance, engineering , and procurement to come up with a solution to reduce the lead-time of admixture medications .
Representation from various departments brings a broad working knowledge of the process to be improved , promotes acceptance and implementation of the remedy
BY Dr. Doaa Hussein Abdelghani MBA, CPHQ,DTQM,HRMD,APD,CPT
56
To select a Cross Functional team Scope of the problem :where is the problem is observed or
experienced?
Who has special knowledge, information, or skills in
uncovering the root cause of the problem ?
Who might be helpful when developing a remedy ?

SIPOC DefinedSIPOC is an acronym standing for
1. S =Supplier(s)2. I =Input(s) & key requirements3. P =Process4. O =Output(s) & key requirements5. C =Customer(s)
SIPOC Diagram Defined• A SIPOC Diagram is a visual representation of a high-level process map;
including suppliers & inputs into the process and outputs & customers of the process
• Visually communicates the scope of a project
How can SIPOC be used?• SIPOC Diagrams help a team and its sponsor(s) agree on project boundaries
and scope• A SIPOC helps teams verify that
• inputs match outputs of upstream processes• outputs match inputs of downstream processes

Voice Of Customer
Voice of the Customer (VOC) is the name used to describe a process of communication where there is give and take to ensure that requirements and expectations are clearly defined, documented, and understood by all parties involved.
BY Dr. Doaa Hussein Abdelghani MBA, CPHQ,DTQM,HRMD,APD,CPT
79
Voice of the Customer (VOC)
VOC is often full of emotions. We need to restate customer statements into fact based, performance requirements that we need to focus on
Of course… Customers expect perfection
• Why don’t you guys learn how to meet a schedule?
• Your service quality to poor• When will you learn how to provide
service and a Customer first attitude?• Why don’t you tell us when there is a
problem?• I sent out e-mail after e-mail with no
response!• Why do you try and make your
customers responsible for your quality problems?
• Your RMA frequency is unacceptable

Kano Customer Need Model
Dis-satisfiers Those needs that are EXPECTED in a product or service. These are generally not stated by customers but are assumed as given. If they are not present, the customer is dissatisfied.
Satisfiers Needs that customers SAY THEY WANT. Fulfilling these needs creates satisfaction.
Exciters /Delighters
New or Innovative features that customers do not expect. The presence of such unexpected features leads to high perceptions of quality.

inefficiencies, omissions/gaps, redundancies, barriers, etc.
Also look for the smooth parts of the process to use as models or "best practices" for improvement;
Decide whether to correct steps within the current process, design a new process, or do corrections first, then redesign in the future.

Interpreting a Flowchart
Step 1 - Examine each process stepBottlenecks? Poorly defined steps? Ineffective sequence? Delays? Weak links?
Step 2 - Examine each decision symbolCan this step be eliminated?
Step 3 - Examine each rework loopCan it be shortened or eliminated?
Step 4 - Examine each activity symbolDoes the step add value for the end-user?

Data Collection Process
Dr.Doaa Hussein MBA,CPHQ,DTQM,HRM,CPT,APD
• Define data elements;
• Determine data collection plan;
Sampling
Purposes: To measure only a portion of a total group
or population, such as for high volume aspects of care and service;
To achieve accurate representation of the entire target population, such as all ambulatory patients; a specific procedure, diagnosis, or DRG; or all cardiologists;
To generalize the results to the larger population based on sample findings.
Dr.Doaa Hussein MBA,CPHQ,DTQM,HRM,CPT,APD
Non-probability Sampling
An intentionally-biased way to sample, involving qualitative judgment about an issue that is suspected to be common or widespread.
Examination of relatively few cases is assumed to be enough to reveal the nature of any problem and its probable causes.
This methodology does not include techniques to estimate the probability that each case will be included,
The results cannot be generalized to the entire population without further study.
Dr.Doaa Hussein MBA,CPHQ,DTQM,HRM,CPT,APD
Types of non-probability sampling Convenience:
Using data most readily available, e.g., all patients seen in the ED in a given week.
Quota: Portions or percentages of persons/cases in a
stratified population (subset), e.g., 10% of male patients with diabetes and heart disease over age 55.
Purposive: Persons/cases/issues selected because they
demonstrate a desired characteristic and can be measured against specific, predetermined criteria, e.g., all patients over age 60 with total hip replacements
Dr.Doaa Hussein MBA,CPHQ,DTQM,HRM,CPT,A
PD
Probability sampling:
Introducing statistical techniques into the selection process, thus permitting the reviewer to draw inferences about a population. It assures that each case in the population has an equal and independent (random) chance of being selected and is, therefore, truly "representative" of the entire population being sampled.
Dr.Doaa Hussein MBA,CPHQ,DTQM,HRM,CPT,APD
Types of Probability Sampling Simple random:
Using a Table of Random Digits (available in all statistical software) to select the persons/cases from a list of every case in the defined population.
Stratified random: Creating 2 or more homogeneous categories or
dimensions of a population and selecting an appropriate number of persons/cases that are representative of the whole. Patients with IVs in home care might be sampled by diagnosis,type of solution, or with and without complications.
Dr.Doaa Hussein MBA,CPHQ,DTQM,HRM,CPT,APD
Types of Probability Sampling Systematic random:
Randomly selecting the first case and then selecting every nth case thereafter based on standard/fixed intervals, e.g., every 5th referral to a specialist by a primary care physician in an HMO after random selection of the first case.
Multistage random In large studies, sampling could be done in
stages, a sample is drawn from each stage randomly.
Dr.Doaa Hussein MBA,CPHQ,DTQM,HRM,CPT,APD
Sampling
Sample Size & Effect Size Sampling error Consequences
Dr.Doaa Hussein MBA,CPHQ,DTQM,HRM,CPT,APD
Joint Commission general guidelines for sampling:
These sample sizes for these populations (total cases meeting criteria) are considered statistically significant and can be applied to measurement activities for the specified time period, e.g., monthly, quarterly:
Population Size Sample Size
Dr.Doaa Hussein MBA,CPHQ,DTQM,HRM,CPT,APD
Sampling strategy
The characteristics of the population that the sample must represent;
The location and time period from which the sample must be drawn;
The type of sampling technique that will assure that the sample accurately represents the population;
The selection of a sample that will not introduce a bias
Dr.Doaa Hussein MBA,CPHQ,DTQM,HRM,CPT,APD
DATA COLLECTION TOOLS
Keep the tool as short and simple as possible; Include all data elements necessary to monitor
the specified issue/indicator; Consider computerizing whenever feasible; Provide appropriate definition of terms key for using the tool.

Surveys
Surveys are methods by which we can measure customer satisfaction, get feedback on written materials and oral presentations.
Dr.Doaa Hussein MBA,CPHQ,DTQM,HRM,CPT,APD
How to Develop a Survey
Know your audience Remember who will be answering your survey and
imagine how they might interpret the questions you are asking.
KISS (Keep It Short and Simple), People tend not to answer lengthy surveys.
Be direct. Ask exactly what you want to know. Make your statements or questions neutral. If you state
your question in a negative manner, you may be swaying the respondent.
Dr.Doaa Hussein MBA,CPHQ,DTQM,HRM,CPT,APD
Measuring Effectiveness Of The Tool
Checklist for adequacy of the tool: Does the tool really measure the process or
aspect of care and its indicator? Will you get the information you really need? Will you get more than you need? Will the data you get be interpretable? Will it
help to gather other data to facilitate interpretation, e.g., age, weight, secondary diagnosis, etc.?
Too much time? Can it be cut down?

Analyze Phase
Analyze phase Having completed the Measure phase, the project team
should have already established a clear problem statement which specifies what the problem is and under what circumstances it occurs.
They should have already gathered and analyzed data to establish the baseline performance of the process, relative to the Critical To Quality measures (CTQs) established based on customer input.
BY Dr. Doaa Hussein Abdelghani MBA, CPHQ,DTQM,HRMD,APD,CPT
120
Analyze phase seeks The question that the Analyze phase seeks to answer is
“Why is this problem occurring?“Another way to ask it is,
“What is the cause of the problem?“
It is not possible to make improvements to the process until the causal factors are identified.

121
ANALZE PHASE 1- Data Analysis : Analyzing data relative to a particular
project.
2-Root Cause Analysis: The other is that the goal of Analyze is to determine root causes, which requires digging deeper than what is apparent on the surface.

122
Steps in DATA Analyze
1. Define your performance objectives.
2. Identify independent variables (X’s).3. Analyzing Sources of Variation : The goal of this
step is to use visual and statistical tools to better understand the relationships between dependent and independent variables (X’s and Y’s).
Process variation Process variation can be classified as Variation for a period of
Time and Variation Over Time.
Variation for a period of time can be defined for discrete and continuous data types as below :

Cause and Effect Diagram / Fish Bone Diagram / Ishikawa Diagram: This is a visual tool used to brainstorm the probable causes
for a particular effect to occur. Effect or the problem is analogously captured as the head of the fish and thus the name. The causes for this effect or problem is generated through team brainstorming and are captured along the bones of the fish. The causes generated in the brainstorming exercises by the team will depend on how closely the team is related to the problem.

Wrapping Up the Analyze Phase
At the end of the Analyze phase, the project team should
have at least one confirmed hypothesis regarding the root
causes of the problem the project aims to resolve. Once
the root cause is known, action can be taken in the
Improve phase to counter it.

IMPROVE
Objectives of Improve Phase
The goal of the DMAIC Improve phase is to identify a solution
to the problem that the project aims to address. This involves
brainstorming potential solutions, selection solutions to test
and evaluating the results of the implemented solutions. Often
a pilot implementation is conducted prior to a full-scale rollout
of improvements.
BY Dr. Doaa Hussein Abdelghani MBA, CPHQ,DTQM,HRMD,APD,CPT
135
Identifying Potential Solutions In the first stage of Improve it is important to include
the people who are involved in performing the process. Their input regarding potential improvements is critical, and this step should not be completed by the project team alone.
A variety of techniques are used to brainstorm potential solutions to counter the root cause(s) identified in Analyze.

Selection between alternatives
139
The goal of this step is to determine the appropriate solutions to implement using objective means, rather than making a decision based on assumptions or preferences.
This is a common theme throughout the Six Sigma methodology. Prioritization Matrix Selection Grids can be used to help in decision making.
Selection between alternativesPrioritization Matrix Selection Grids
140
A Prioritization matrix is a tool used to select one option from a group of alternatives, be they problems or solutions.
It promotes objective decision making.
141
Prioritization Matrix Steps:
Limit the list of options (of problems or solutions) to no more than eight (8);
Select the criteria against which each option will be rated, stated in either positive or negative terms, but not both;
Determine the weight (relative value) of each criterion; perhaps some are more important to meet than others;
Determine the desired score, what number of criteria must be met, etc. for the option to remain under consideration;
the matrix with options down the left side and criteria/total score column across the top.
Implementing Improvements Planning the implementation is largely a matter of basic
project management. The team needs to plan the budget and time line of the implementation, determine roles and responsibilities, and assign and track tasks.
Tools for planning include gantt charts, action plans and flowcharts. A deployment flowchart can be created for the implementation process itself, as well as for the new process that will be followed as a result of the improvements being implemented.
BY Dr. Doaa Hussein Abdelghani MBA, CPHQ,DTQM,HRMD,APD,CPT
142
143
Action Planning Once the team selects a solution, an action plan need to
be developed.
Action plans at a minimum identifies: what to be done? (deliverables) How a certain task will be done?(Implementation Strategies) who will do it?( Responsible person) Time Frame (due date) A mean of verification that a certain task has been done (target ,
KPI).what to be done? (deliverables)
Implementation Strategies

Due Date Evaluation
GANTT CHART Definition: A Gantt chart is a project-planning tool for
developing schedules; a graphic display—a type of bar chart—of the individual parts of a quality improvement process as bars on a horizontal time scale.
The Gantt chart includes a list of tasks (process steps) and estimates of time and people resources required to complete the quality improvement effort.
Most project-planning software includes Gantt charts.

Pilot The selected solution
The most common piloting options include either making changes only in one group or department or making changes for a limited time period. The benefit of a pilot test is that the project team can ensure the changes result in the desired improvements before a full roll out. In addition, the team can gain insights to allow a more effective implementation during the full roll out.

Wrapping Up the Improve Phase By the end of the Improve phase, the project team has
demonstrated that the solutions implemented do in fact counter the identified root causes and thus result in substantial improvement in the CTQ metrics.
The new process is in place and the team is ready to create a plan to maintain the gains and close out the project.

Control Standardise the solution by making it part of the standard
procedure for the process; Update the performance measurement scorecard for the
process; Implement control charts; Document the project. Share and celebrate your success. Ensure the process is being managed and monitored properly. Continuously improve the process. Apply new knowledge to other processes in your organization.
Wrapping Up the Control Phase By the end of the Control phase, the project team
has successfully Standardized and documented the new process, Created training and reference materials and
established a plan for ongoing process monitoring. The improvements are fully established and a plan
exists for updating the process in response to changes in the environment.
The team is now ready to close out their six sigma dmaic project and hand the process off to the process owner.

Closing Out the Project The five phases of DMAIC have been completed. The
Six Sigma project team has: Established the customer requirement (CTQ) Measured the process against that requirement Clarified the problem that had to be addressed Confirmed one or more root causes of that problem Identified one or more solutions to counter the root causes Demonstrated that the solutions implemented result in
substantial improvement in the CTQ metrics Rolled out the new process

Future Plans Review the previous non-pareto causes to see which ones
have upgraded themselves and assess whether these are worth going after;
Review any obvious opportunities to apply the solution in other areas;
Communicate the solution to other parts of the organisation where it may also apply;
