Six Sigma Course

[Guest guest]

The Southwest Texas Regional Advisory Council for Trauma is pleased to

announce that it will be hosting IPS' acclaimed Lean Six Sigma Yellow

Belt Course at our facility in San , TX. This 2 day workshop will

be held on Wednesday April 22 and Thursday the 23rd. The course will be

taught by IPS President Mic Gunderson - a well-known EMS author,

educator, consultant and a frequent presenter at national and

international EMS conferences.

Traditional approaches to quality management have had limited success in

many types of enterprises - including EMS, fire / rescue organizations

and hospitals. In contrast, properly implemented Six Sigma programs have

been extremely successful in getting measurable results (clinical,

operational or financial returns on investment) on projects that are

aligned to organizational priorities. Six Sigma is a project-based

approach to choosing, supporting and conducting process improvement

projects with measurable results that improve outcomes, make processes

operate more effectively and efficiently, and make better use of an

organization's financial resources. The Six Sigma EMS Yellow Belt

Workshop provides EMS personnel with the knowledge and skills they need

to fully participate on successful six sigma project teams - and receive

the 'Yellow Belt' level of Six Sigma skills. This workshop is also the

first step for those who plan to on for 'green belt' certification - the

minimum recommended certification level for persons who intend to lead

six sigma process improvement projects.
