Are your current processes handling the increase in demands of covid-19?
Hospital processes have to be repeatable, consistent, and safe, more so now than ever before.
With the onset of Health Care Reform and Covid19 how are you maintaining patient safety?
“One patient at a time”
We at 6SigmaTek look at processes, “One patient at a time”. We have worked with 1000 bed hospital to 20 bed hospitals; from Florida, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and North Carolina. That one patient could be a loved one. Our passion is patient safety.
Training for todays Covid19 environment
If you are looking for support, our online learning platform provides your staff the training and resources they need. If you already had deficiencies that could have been improved, covid19 adds that extra layer of complications, that we need to address.

Our Student Voices
Our training reverberates around a hospital setting as described by our past students
Did you enjoy participating in the program and why?
"I really enjoyed working through the Six Sigma Yellow Belt program. It made me think and walk outside my comfort zone and taught me life-long skills that will benefit me both at work and in my personal life." Patti Taylor
"Absolutely, I learned valuable skills that I use every day. It gave me the opportunity to collaborate with individuals outside of my department and implement education that showed improved outcomes. I also got the opportunity to listen to other hospital’s barriers and how they are addressing efficiency limitations. It allows individuals across hospitals to learn and grow from each other and I am thankful I had that opportunity." Jennifer Smith, MHA, PMP
I did enjoy participating in this program it gave me an outlook on ways to come up with problem solving and use of resources to utilize best practice not only for the patients but also for the hospital. Jeremy Miller,RRT,RCP
What skills did you learn from the program and have they assisted you in the workplace?
"The biggest skill I walked away with was “listening to the voice of the customer”. I know that sounds cliché, however; in healthcare it is extremely important to know what expectations our patients have of us. It allows us to see our facility through their experience." Patti Taylor
"Yes, my LSSYB required data analysis, fishbone development, process mapping, presentation skills and collaboration. These are skills I use everyday at the BSWQA and skills I will continue to use moving forward. I reference my project frequently as I develop new projects/programs." Jennifer Smith, MHA, PMP
The skills I learned from the program were how to gather information record data and come up with a way to use all of that while working together as a team which gave a different perspective on things, these skills are still being used today in order to decrease days on ventilators and better patient outcomes. Jeremy Miller,RRT,RCP

Mr. Steve Griffin was the Master Black Belt that trained us for the first Green Belt class at our hospital. His class was extremely educational and his support throughout the project was excellent. It has made us a much more efficient place to work with improvements in patient satisfaction, work flow, and cost savings. I recommend his expertise to bring any organization to new levels of performance.
Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System
6 Sigmatek trained over 100 green belts, 300 yellow belts, 30 white belts and 60 champions; this effort represents over 8,000 hours of training. As a leader Steve consistently deployed humor and light heartedness while driving hard for results. He demonstrated patience when educating our young team members and challenged our black belts to achieve. This ability to encourage achievement with a sophisticated tool set – motivating the inexperienced and inspiring the seasoned – is rare.
Ava Raymond APRN, MSN
The knowledge that I have gained from my mentorship with Mr. Griffin is greatly appreciated. It has afforded me the opportunity to work on other process improvement projects in other departments in the hospital. Mr. Griffin is an intelligent and successful young man with a lot of valuable knowledge to share. Anyone interested in improving processes through six sigma programs, will not be disappointed.
Patti Taylor
It was honor to be able to have our team selected for this course. Obviously, the primary reason was to have the opportunity to be taught Six Sigma content by the subject matter experts at the DFWHC & 6sigmatek. Also, being able to work with some of my team from the hospital to enhance operational challenges brought us closer as a team and helped us get exposure to ideas at other facilities.
