Journal Title: European Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Patient safety is considered the corner stone of the high quality medical care. This study applied Six Sigma set (DMAIC) to identify root cause(s) of medication error and propose appropriate strategies to prevent medication error incidences in healthcare sections. Six Sigma's approach of problem identification, measurement, and statistical analysis, improvement, and controls plans were covered at a general governmental hospital with number of beds is 93 beds, and number of physicians is 137 physicians.
