The scenarios and simulations that are discussed are from a healthcare perspective and were based on real-life process and quality improvement projects that had previously been successfully completed. \nLean and Six Sigma have been proven to be very successful methods to eliminate wastes\, errors\, inefficiencies\, and defects for many\, many years.
