Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Quality Improvement
  • Respiratory Care

Background:

  • Lean Six Sigma processes enhance healthcare safety and efficiency.
  • Daily huddles are a Lean Six Sigma tool to improve patient safety, problem-solving, outcomes, and communication.
  • Huddle utilization in respiratory care departments has not been previously documented.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the implementation of daily huddles in a respiratory care department.
  • To evaluate the impact of daily huddles on departmental problem-solving and process improvement.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive and retrospective study design was employed.
  • Respiratory therapy staff were trained in daily huddle processes for issue resolution and identifying improvement opportunities.
  • Opportunities were categorized as quick hits, complex problems, or projects, with defined resolution timelines and escalation pathways.

Main Results:

  • A total of 366 process improvement opportunities were raised during huddles.
  • The majority of opportunities were resolved quickly (67% quick hits), with most resolved internally (47.5%) or with interdisciplinary support (43%).
  • All identified opportunities were resolved within the study period.

Conclusions:

  • Implementing twice-daily huddles in a respiratory care department facilitates the identification and timely resolution of process improvement opportunities.
  • Daily huddles are an effective tool for enhancing problem-solving and operational efficiency within respiratory care settings.
