Paradigm Software Australia, developer of the Paradigm 3 document control software in conjunction with the Interax Group Inc introduces their new module for managing your lean six sigma program.
Lean Six Sigma is a program that combines the speed and impact of lean with the quality and variation control tools of Six Sigma enabling you to achieve rapid improvement in both operation and quality.
Paradigm 3 Lean Six Sigma module provides the answer to a number of challenges for managing your program, including clear indication of status, complete outline of data to be collected, all project related information in one location available to all team members.
Our solution provides a step by step approach that collects data on integrated forms that follow the DMIAC process managing the project through all phases from development to control.
Paradigm Lean Six Sigma module is completely configurable to suit your process enabling you to design the content that is collected within each step. Gated approvals ensure each step of the DIAMC process is completed and signed off by assigned personnel. Paradigm 3 also provides the ability to attach supportive documents such as straw diagrams, process flows, photographs etc directly to the applicable step of the DIAMC project ensuring that the progress on the project and all applicable supportive documents are available through one portal.
The new Style Designer tool within Paradigm 3 enables end users to easily build and customize database type forms. The Style designer is developed to enable personnel to build and customize database forms with no assistance required from outside groups such as consultants or IT. Assuring that your system is completely customized quickly and easily to meet your requirements and needs. The style designer can be used in our Records module which is used to house static data, our Improvement module which is used where any investigative processes are required and in the Training modules which tracks and schedules training.
This new tool means that end users with appropriate permissions can build and customize forms easily and quickly. It is as simple as selecting the type of field i.e. date field and selecting the location, then going on to the next field – it has become that simple to create your own form. Once the form is created the fields then become live enabling them to be searched and reports and analysis to be generated off them. Paradigms style designer even allows Word or Excel forms to be inserted directly into them with two clicks of a mouse.

Interax would like to congratulate William Osler Health System Laboratory Department on achieving accreditation to ISO 15189Plus by QMP-LS in Conjunction with the Standards Council of Canada. William Osler is a long time user of Paradigm Software to manage their quality system, Pat Burton Quality Coordinator feels it was central in the success of their quality program providing a solid structure on which to build the ISO 15180Plus program. Pat also said there is always concern on the amount of resources this will take but as your quality management system evolves and matures, there’s less work to keep it going. The quality framework is in place. There are many benefits that have been achieved by adopting the practices outlined in ISO 15189Plus including there has been a decrease in errors in many processes. Patient ID errors alone have been reduced by 50% and there has been a significant decrease in point-of-care nonconformance.
The OLA 15189Plus™ accreditation in addition to meeting the requirements of ISO 15189 also requires labs to meet a number of other rigorous requirements: the ISO 15190 standard on medical laboratory safety, the ISO 22870 standard for point-of-care testing and the Canadian Standards Association’s CSA-Z902 standard on blood safety. The Laboratory at WOHS had to ensure staff understood the accreditation process and requirements, and make sure that the resources required to meet accreditation requirements were available.
