  • Analyzing Cause and Effect Processes

    Description:
    Other modules in the Skills series describe how to create a process map to identify opportunities to build a better process. Once you have a map, you will have analyzed it to identify problems delays, gaps, confusion, variation, and waste. Next you will need to analyze further to understand the root causes and contributing factors for these problems. Without this deeper understanding, it would be premature to begin developing solutions. In this module, we explore techniques to tease out the underlying causes of process and systems problems that will give you confidence about where to focus your efforts as you redesign your process for the future.

  • Analyzing Cause and Effect Processes

    Description:
    Other modules in the Skills series describe how to create a process map to identify opportunities to build a better process. Once you have a map, you will have analyzed it to identify problems delays, gaps, confusion, variation, and waste. Next you will need to analyze further to understand the root causes and contributing factors for these problems. Without this deeper understanding, it would be premature to begin developing solutions. In this module, we explore techniques to tease out the underlying causes of process and systems problems that will give you confidence about where to focus your efforts as you redesign your process for the future.

  • Total Occlusion Late after Myocardial Infarction

    Description:
    It is well established that prompt reperfusion therapy within the first six hours of MI symptom onset can significantly reduce mortality and morbidity after MI, and reperfusion therapy with PCI/stenting or fibrinolysis is well established. However, it is not uncommon that a patient will undergo coronary angiography 12 or even 24 hours after MI, where a totally occluded artery is identified at that point in time.
