Product Overview

This note provides the project presentation of a Six Sigma team nearing the completion of a second study focused on the issue of improving discharge cycle time in a general medicine unit of a medical center. The material supplements the case study, UVA-OM-1378, by providing the application details of the DMAIC study. In the case study, students are asked to examine both the positive aspects and the issues that the team faces, decide which to address first, and plan next steps with a list of five ideas to improve subsequent studies, including only those action items that can be clearly communicated, easily implemented, and are justifiable from a business point of view.
