MILWAUKEE, WI USA -- HEALTHCARE UPDATE NEWS SERVICETM -- MAY 31, 2006: Healthcare managers, directors and quality performance officers may register now for peer-to-peer Six Sigma Blended Green Belt Training offered by The American Society for Quality (ASQ) starting in August.

What sets ASQ Six Sigma for Healthcare training apart from other providers' is our experience. ASQ, founded 60 years ago, works with such leading healthcare organizations as the Institute for Healthcare Improvement and the American Hospital Association to apply quality improvement methods and tools to the practice of healthcare.

Those who complete our training return to their organizations with the sophisticated management and analytical skills they need to reduce medical errors, decrease wait times and potentially harmful delays in care, and help ensure a safer, more efficient, cost-effective system that better satisfies both patients and healthcare workers.

ASQ SIX SIGMA FOR HEALTHCARE BLENDED GREEN BELT TRAINING:

For team members or individuals who will support Six Sigma Black Belts with data collection and project leadership, Green Belt Training for Healthcare provides the tools and techniques they will need to contribute to their organization's success.

For healthcare professionals who wish to combine the best of classroom instruction, e-learning, virtual classes and on-going instructor support and minimize time away from the office, ASQ's new Blended Green Belt Training is the solution.

The next course begins with a three-day training session in Houston, August 2nd through 4th, where participants are introduced to the concepts and tools of Six Sigma.

When participants return home, they will independently continue learning the fundamental approaches and applications associated with Six Sigma Green Belt requirements over the next eight weeks via an ASQ online learning tool called "Continuous Learning Laboratory." Instructor support and Continuous Learning LaboratoryTM, developed by Creative Healthcare, is available for eight months.
