According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (2007), the average length of stay in 2005 for all inpatients in a hospital was 4.8 days. After careful study of admissions over the past 6 months, the average length of stay for your hospital was 8.7 days. The chief executive officer (CEO) is concerned that the average length of stay is much higher than the national average and has asked you to look into the issue further.
In the Individual Project assignment last week, you identified the following:
- Potential causes for the higher-than-average length of stay for the hospital
- Processes that could be measured through the implementation of the Six Sigma program
- Tools to be used to measure the processes
- Potential benefits to the hospital as a result of the Six Sigma program
This week, the CEO has asked you to present an implementation strategy for the Six Sigma initiative to the executive team.
In a PowerPoint presentation of 25-30 slides, propose a strategy for implementing a Six Sigma initiative to address the above-average length of stay issue.
Your implementation strategy must follow the five-phase approach:
- Phase I: Mobilizing
- Phase II: Planning
- Phase III: Piloting
- Phase IV: Implementing the Six Sigma system
- Phase V: Internalizing the Six Sigma culture
Presentation Requirements
The slides should be structured in a formal presentation format that uses short bullet points in the slides and that utilizes the Notes section of the slides to elaborate on the slides' content.
Your presentation must include the following:
1. Between 25-30 slides + title and references slides
2. At least 500 words of speaker notes
3. Research findings from the previous week
4. Implementation strategy
Be sure to cite all references in APA format.
