This book explores how the Six Sigma approach integrates
with and complements the culture of High- Reliability
Organizations. Six Sigma strives to reduce variability both
by reducing errors and by standardizing processes, and
it provides the ground-up support structure for a HighReliability culture. Written in a practical, how-to style
and now extensively revised, this book provides healthcare
executives with a tool kit for understanding variability,
managing change, and ultimately reducing errors and
improving patient outcomes.
This extensively revised edition includes: expanded
content on Lean operations; in-depth guidance on error
reduction; strategies for managing inevitable interruptions;
workflow-design strategies, with more emphasis on Lean;
advice on technological change; expanded coverage
of data visualization; and new information on change
management.

Daniel B. McLaughlin and John R. Olson, PhD
