This involves clearly communicating the purpose and benefits of Lean Six Sigma to all stakeholders and addressing any concerns or resistance. It is important to involve frontline healthcare staff in the process, as they are the ones directly impacted by the changes. Additionally, providing comprehensive training and resources is essential to ensure that staff members have the knowledge and skills to effectively implement Lean Six Sigma practices.
