Quality and patient safety powerpoint
Managers in healthcare have a legal and moral obligation to ensure high standards of quality and patient safety are provided. As a healthcare leader, you are in a prime position to mandate policy, systems, and procedures; and influence organizational climates. Healthcare managers play an essential role in quality of care and patient safety. Indeed, these are of the highest priorities for healthcare managers.

- Compare and contrast Continuous quality improvement (total quality management) and Six Sigma (Lean) approaches to quality improvement. Provide a real-world example in a healthcare organization of where you believe one would be preferable to another.
