change as it relates to quality management?
o
Compare at least 2 project management methodologies that would be ideal for
quality management at a health care organization.
Good evening,
Healthcare industry is constantly in a state of change and there always major regulatory changes
happening. Some allow for great opportunities for healthcare organizations, while others pose a
threat. It is also important to know what regulatory reform is, which is making changes in the
economic, social and technical conditions surrounding them in healthcare(n.d.). I think that it is
always important to know as much as possible about any regulatory change that is happening,
so that you can be prepared to make it work in your advantage. It’s also important to know
these items so that they may be followed properly. If these regulations are not followed
properly, they can become a threat. Your organization can be at risk of paying heavy fines or
even be shut down.
There are many project management techniques that could be used to drive an organizational
change as it relates to quality management. There are two to me that stick out more than
others. The first being Lean Six Sigma and the second being hybrid. Lean Six Sigma is the process
of continual process refinement. The main focus is to identify and removing defects, as well as
suboptimal efficiencies within projects(Bodnarchuk, 2023). Hybrid methodology is the merging
of the waterfall and the agile methods. This method uses the best of both of the methods. The
parts from the waterfall method are used to help plan a clear road map for the future, while the
day-to-day operations fall under the agile method(Bodnarchuk, 2023).
