HKSQ member Dr. Ivan Ng was the third speaker and he presented his research topic named “An Organizational Development Study of the Impact of Culture Factors on the Implementation of the Six Sigma Methodology in Southern China”. He briefed the phenomenon that some companies completed Six Sigma, some continued with it and some abandoned it. Some integrated with other initiatives and some carried it as a brand named. He observed the operation incompatibility and cultural incongruity.
Dr. Ivan Ng’s findings told us that Chinese Value Survey dimensions did not significant on Six Sigma outcomes. Organization Culture Profile (OCP) had effect on Six Sigma Quality Culture outcomes especially on Supportive Culture (positive) and Innovation culture (negative). For more information, please visit his seminar in Hong Kong at http://qualityalchemist.blogspot.cz/2015/10/hksq-seminar-on-organization.html .
After the his presentation, he discussed with Mr. Gregory Watson. Mr. Watson told us a secret that the Six Sigma Belts concept (Black Belt / Green Belt) was not come from Japan but from Korea!!
In next session “Quality Development in Healthcare”, the first speaker was Prof. Azat Abdrakhmanov (President at Kazakh Organization for Quality & Innovation Management) and his presentation title was “Innovation Management in Healthcare System of Kazakhstan is a Way to the International Competitiveness”. Prof. Azat comparied the health system in KZ before and after 2005. Their Health Reform from 2005 to 2010 was very success.
There were many improvements of Health Care Management System including rational delineation of functions and authority, Improvement of quality and financing system, medicines provision, Health Information System (HIS) and Training of pool of health care managers, etc. The following demonstrated the difference of the Health Care Quality Management before and after 2005.
The second speaker was Prof. Harriet Black Nembhard (Professor of Industrial Engineering; Director, Center for Integrated Healthcare Delivery Systems, The Pennsylvania State University) and her topic entitled “The Role of Quality Improvement Methods in Healthcare Delivery Science and Translation Research”. She said an abundance of medical devices, pharmaceuticals, facilities, and clinical trials exist but didn’t function as a system; even though US ranked last of 11 wealthy nations on healthcare quality, access, efficiency and equity.
Prof. Nembhard would like to use “Translational Research” which was a process of moving a new idea into clinical practice and health outcomes. She said the quality improvement framework was not able to remain static. They applied a QFD-AHP (Quality Functions Deployment combined with Analytical Hierarchy Process) methodology to peer-led obesity counseling. Finnaly, she suggested that Goal Programming (GP) and Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA) were used to determine the mix of translational research proposals.
Mr. Shancheng Jiang (CityU PhD student under Dr. KS Chin) was the fourth speaker and his topic named “Forecasting the Volume of Patient Arrival to an Emergency Department in Hong Kong using Time Series Regression Method and Artificial Intelligence Method.
His preliminary reviews of some challenges in Emergency Department were:
1. Timeliness – Waiting time target of patients is less than hospital ward. (Sheduling)
2. Shortage – Room, personnel, equipment (Assignment)
3. Uncertainty – Patients’ arrivals without appoint & Need among different patient (Forecasting)
Finally, he introduced his research case study design.
After Dr. KS Chin’s student presentation, I joined the IAQ Panel: Quality in Service.
