How will the Center address shortfalls in quality and safety?
The Center is working with a network of leading hospitals and health systems to develop solutions to the most pressing quality and safety problems facing health care organizations today. The Joint Commission has recruited leading organizations that have pioneered the application of Robust Process ImprovementTM (RPI) methods and tools to health care. These include Lean Six Sigma and change management process. It is likely, for example, that a number of improvement projects will follow the Six Sigma improvement frameworkâdefine, measure, analyze, improve, control (DMAIC).
