The purpose of this assignment is to assess how Lean and Lean Six Sigma management strategies are used to improve quality in health care environments.
Continuous quality improvement offers a structured way of thinking about how to influence and transform operations and processes across the health care spectrum. A key component of improving quality is increasing efficiency and reducing waste. Lean management systems (LMS) and Lean Six Sigma (LSS) methods encourage this type of streamlining to improve leadership, management, and innovation processes by encouraging a more effective flow of operations within a health care system.  In this assignment, you will be assessing the purpose and use of these methods in a health care context.
Part 1
Create a table comparing the roles of the LMS and the LSS Methodologies.
Part 2
Describe and compare the LMS and the LSS methodologies in a 500- to 750-word summary. Address the following:
What are the benefits and uses of each system?
How and why are the LMS and the LSS strategies used to streamline processes within a health care environment?
How do LMS and LSS influence the ways a health organization allocates and distributes its budget? How do the financial considerations of a health care organization relate to its strategies to improve and sustain quality care?
Evaluate the relationships between the LMS, the LSS, and continuous quality improvement. How do these models impact, encourage, or influence the ability of a health care organization to provide continuous quality care?
Submit Parts 1 and Part 2 as one deliverable.
While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

Select lectures will have one or more associated readings (scientific articles, book chapter, and/or government report – distributed via email and/or iCollege). Each student (individually) will be asked to select onedesignated lectures (via iCollege) and provide a summary and 3 – 5 questions to ask the guest lecturer for the topic associated with the reading. The summary should be about one-half to one page and should briefly summarize the topic and objective of the reading, methodology (if an empirical article), conclusions, and what particularly about the reading intrigued the student. The questions generated should be sparked by the reading but should not be about the reading itself (do not assume the guest lecturer is familiar with the reading). Rather, the questions should pertain to the topic, find the right balance between general and specific, and be open-ended. At least one question should be framed to seek more information about the UK. Select questions will be shared with guest lecturers to address during class.

verview: In this rationale assignment you are going to identify the stakeholders who will be part of your planning committee. You should have already identified some for the needs assessment purpose and scope.

Next, you will provide a rationale for your proposed program that includes information about: (a) the needs and wants of the priority population, (b) the health status of those affected, (c) the potential positive outcomes, (d) evidence that the program could lead to those outcomes, and (e) how this program can make a difference for the population of interest and community-at-large. The final step is determining what your program’s mission, goal, and objectives will be. What is necessary to effect change?

ESSAY: VULNERABLE POPULATIONS ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS OVERVIEW 
For vulnerable populations such as racial and ethnic minorities, the economically disadvantaged, and those with chronic conditions, health and health care issues may be exacerbated by social factors, economic factors, and geographical factors. They experience greater risk factors, worse access to care, and increased morbidity and mortality rates than the general population. Even in 
the United States there are significant disparities in health care for these populations.  
It is important that health care leaders are able to identify, describe, and understand the population at risk. By gaining this comprehensive understanding, one can use resources broadly to overcome social determinants of health in these vulnerable populations. 
INSTRUCTIONS 
Focusing upon diabetes as a chronic condition in the United States, identify and describe the population in terms of person and geography including social determinants of health.  
Describe the challenges they face in health care, evaluate two current solutions, and propose two potential solutions to this problem. In your analysis, include a Biblical perspective on health disparities.
