Most patients with symptomatic acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the leading cause of death in western industrialized nations, use the emergency department (ED) as their point of entry. Yet, one identified barrier to early recognition of patients with AMI is ED overcrowding. In this paper, the author presents a quality improvement model that applies Lean Six Sigma guidelines to the clinical setting.
在西方工业化国家，有症状的急性心肌梗死（AMI）是主要死因，大多数此类患者将急诊科（ED）作为就诊入口。然而，已发现的急性心肌梗死患者早期识别的一个障碍是急诊科过度拥挤。在本文中，作者提出了一种将精益六西格玛准则应用于临床环境的质量改进模型。
