Q1. Discuss the application of quality concepts and philosophies to the healthcare industry.

Answer : Six Sigma methodologies aim at improving overall quality  by eliminating defects and achieving near perfection by restricting the number of possible defects to less than 3.4 defects per million. Six Sigma methodologies were originally developed for implementation in the manufacturing sector but with time their use has spread to the services sector as well. In the services sector, Six Sigma concepts are used mainly for eliminating transactional errors.

Q2. Explain the six sigma concept.

Answer : Six sigma :

Six Sigma at many organizations simply means a measure of quality that strives for near perfection. Six Sigma is a disciplined, data-driven approach and methodology for eliminating defects (driving toward six standard deviations between the mean and the nearest specification limit) in any process – from manufacturing to transactional and from product to service. The statistical representation of Six Sigma describes quantitatively how a process is performing. To achieve Six Sigma, a process must not produce more than 3.4 defects per million opportunities. A Six Sigma defect is defined as anything outside of customer specifications.

Q.3: Explain the various quality tools.

Answer : The basic seven control tools considered for achieving quality are Flow Chart, Check sheet, Histogram, Pareto Analysis, Scatter Diagram, Control Chart, and Cause and Effect Diagram for

Q6. Discuss the benefits of quality management in clinical services.

Answer : Ideally, every clinical trial should have a Clinical Trial Quality Management Plan (QMP) describing the tools that will be used to ensure study quality. The extent and nature of monitoring may be determined based on various considerations such as trial design, complexity, size, risks to subjects, and endpoints of the trial.

One of the benefits of developing and implementing a QMP includes developing proactive communication among clinical trial team members.  This
