Utilizing Process Improvement Models in Saudi Healthcare Settings (110 points)
You have been asked by the Board of Directors to persuade stakeholders in your healthcare organization to adopt Lean Six Sigma.
In this assignment, you will write an executive summary that can be distributed to inform stakeholders about Lean Sigma and how it will benefit your organization and your plan for implementation.
In each summary, you will include the following:
- A succinct overview of the model
- The impact of the model on quality
- The impact of the model on cost
- Barriers to implementation in your organization and how you would address them
- Brief implementation plan
There are many formats for executive summaries, but they all include relevant headings and succinct descriptions.

- Make sure headings correspond to the assignment requirements.
In this assignment, you will write two executive summaries: one on Lean Six Sigma, and one on either Total Quality Management or Continuous Quality Management. You can always use the example in the assignment as a guide.
Local Practice Problem Exploration
During this, last ten years, in the state of Texas, the prevalence of this practice problem “Diabetes Mellitus” shows an increased number of population affected and a higher cost for treatment (Johnson, E. P. et al., 2019). The overall percentage of mortality rate in Texas during these last two decades has increased by 2 % in females and 6 % in males due to communicable diseases, non-communicable diseases, and injuries. According to GBD (2018), Diabetes Mellitus ranked in seventh position in the year 1999 and ninth position in the year 2019, and the associated risk factors, which leads to mortality rate are high body mass index, high fasting plasma glucose, high blood pressure, kidney dysfunction, and high alcohol use.
Diabetes Mellitus, a chronic disease that affects multiple systems in patients often gets readmission due to the complications after the initial discharge. Nurses have to use critical thinking and proper judgment to assess the diabetic patients while they are in the hospital to identify the complications and to intervene without delaying the treatment. Nursing care becomes challenging especially with the “ic” population “geriatrics and pediatrics due to the age factor, inability to comprehend the education, memory-related issues (dementia) for the senior citizens, or the language itself. All these factors could become a barrier to do self-management care, which is the most priority education and intervention be done to maintain the targeted glycemic index. Health care Organizations, which has a partnership with the different national diabetic committees takes control of implementing policies and protocols and updates the data of the mortality rate. In Texas, the high mortality rate due to Diabetic Mellitus is because of kidney diseases, septicemia, heart diseases, and stroke. The quality of care be evaluated after a new intervention or a new policy is implemented.
One of the stakeholders who are extremely helpful to identify prediabetes, gestational diabetic, diagnosed diabetic patients are called as Diabetic Prevention Program (DPP) sites. DPP sites emphasize to take data from each county and provide education and preventive techniques towards this practice problem. The DPP considered one of the powerful tool for health care team members to educate and give attention to each county and employers and work partnership (Johnson, E. P. et al., 2019). Another stakeholder identified in the state of Texas is the Diabetic Education Program (DEP) sites. The difference between DPP and DEP is the DEP is a 12-month program including several workshops provided for the patients and does a quarterly follow-up. Every 3 months the patients are checked for the HbA1c and based on the outcome do the intervention and education modifications (Ory, M. G. et,. 2020). Other stakeholders identified are the nurses, patients, family members, ancillary services, health care providers,s, and pharmacists.
Our Organization identified a gap in knowledge in the patients doing self-management care focusing on diet and exercise. After identifying the patients with diabetes and complications of diabetes in the hospital there was, a team implemented which consists of diabetic educators, dietitians, nurse educators, wound care nurses, and dialysis managers. The team members as their role will meet with each patient and implement a plan in collaboration with the patient on self-care management. The feedback was great by the family members because this education provided the patients and the family members to think from a different perspective and helps to understand better and therefore one of the best continuing education topics to be included and explained by the team to the nurses and health care team during the meetings.

Applying Process Improvement Models
THIS IS A DISCUSSION:
I will attach what information I already have for this project and the rubric…it is a 6 week project…currently wk 3
I work in hospice. It is expected that we evaluate and know when a patient is declining to be able to increase visits to monitor the patient more closely. Using the edmonten symptom assessment system allows you to trend the patients symptoms and thereby increasing visits as needed when the pt declines. Our numbers indicate that we are not increasing the visits on declining patients based on not having a skilled nursing visit 3-5 days before death.
Choose a Quality Improvement Model from Chapter 5 in the Spath (2018) textbook, and apply this model to your practice problem. Please do not choose Lean or Six Sigma as your quality model unless you have an expert in these quality models in your organization to guide you through the process.
Pick one of these:
PDSA (p.124). Plan do study act
RCI (p.127). rapid cycle improvement
FOCUS PDCA (p.128). focus-plan-do-check-act
FADE (p.129). focus analyze develop and execute
By Day 4
Post a Discussion entry describing the model that you selected and how each step of the model will be used to develop the plan for the Practice Experience Project. Continue to collaborate with the selected individuals in your practice environment as needed in the development of the Practice Experience Project, and share this information with your group.
