Hi everyone,

This week's article on Poka Yoke (click here for the full article) discusses how 'mistake proofing' (the meaning of poka yoke) can help businesses waste less energy, time and resources doing things wrong...preventing mistakes from occuring in the first place.

Since wrong-side surgery tops a list of 27 serious, preventable events in the United States, I thought a great real-world poka yoke challenge would be to help prevent wrong side operations (see the article for an excerpt and link to a recent newspaper article). Let's use our collective iSixSigma brain power and help the medical industry with ideas to poka yoke wrong side operations! I've presented the first idea below...what new ideas, modifications, and suggestions do you have?

- Kerri
