Enhanced Approach for Lean Six Sigma in Healthcare Insurance Industry
The published article below describes a Lean Six Sigma deployment in a healthcare insurance company.

The paper below describes how one healthcare insurance company has begun to use Six Sigma to not only make itself more efficient and effective internally, but is now also directing its energies toward lowering medical costs while improving patient service and outcomes.
Since the time of this article, the IEE system was developed. The IEE system is a lean Six Sigma 2.0 methodology which addresses the business management systems described in a one-minute video.
The IEE system is described in the article “Positive Metrics Poor Business Performance: How Does this Happen?”
Details of implementing an IEE system is described in a 5-book series:
