Who it's for
Clinicians, quality leads, supervisors, advanced practitioners and analysts who lead improvement in the ED, operating room, pharmacy, laboratory or inpatient and outpatient settings.
What you'll master
Lead a scoped DMAIC project with a measurable problem statement and CTQs.
Map end-to-end pathways with SIPOC and VSM to find waste and handoff risk.
Design a data plan and run MSA for continuous and attribute data.
Apply confidence intervals, t-tests, chi-square and regression to distinguish signal from noise in clinical data.
Prioritise causes and risk with Ishikawa, 5-Whys, Pareto and FMEA.
Establish control with SPC charts (XmR, p, u), capability (Cp/Cpk) and a practical control plan.
Communicate impact ethically — GDPR-aware — with A3 storytelling and a handover package.
The curriculum
| Define | Program orientation, project scoping, charter and A3 in a clinical context. |
| Measure | SIPOC / VSM, data plans and Measurement System Analysis for care data. |
| Analyze | Statistical analysis — CI, tests, correlation and regression on clinical datasets. |
| Risk & causes | Ishikawa, 5-Whys, Pareto and FMEA to prioritise safety risk. |
| Improve | PDCA and DOE-screening logic to design and pilot countermeasures. |
| Control | SPC, capability and a control plan; ethical, GDPR-aware A3 handover. |
You'll walk away with
A charter and A3, SIPOC / VSM, MSA report and analysis notebook
An FMEA sheet, pilot log, SPC pack and a final control plan
45 hours of work-based DMAIC on a real clinical problem
Assessment
A real work-based DMAIC project with an ethical, GDPR-aware A3 and handover, supported by competency evidence across the K-S-A-B framework. Aligned to EQF 6, EQAVET, ISO 21001, ISO 13053 and WHO patient-safety guidance.
