2. QUALITY ASSURANCE SYSTEM
Quality assurance is a range of activities (including review, evaluation,
surveillance, appraisal and monitoring) which collectively comprise the
intelligence gathering arm of quality assurance.
These are:-
* Quality consists of doing those things necessary to meet & exceed the
needs & expectations of those we serve & doing those right things right
every time . * * * *Review is the process of critical reflection used by
clinicians wishing to assess their own (or their peers') performance
* Audit is the activity of review when conducted on a continuous and
routine basis.
* Evaluation is one-off assessment of the impact of a service on indices of
health
* Surveillance is routinely repeated evaluation
* Appraisal is ad hoc data collection and analysis by management in
relation to health care delivery
* Monitoring is ongoing appraisal
4. WHAT IS QUALITY
Quality is not a number but is a function of positive perception.
Quality, simplistically, means that a product should meet one‟s
requirement.
Quality is the inherent characteristic & distinctive attribute that
makes a product different from others.
Ensures conformity to requirement.
Products & services should be essentially free from defects ,
there by becoming cost effective.
Quality consists of doing those things necessary to meet &
exceed the needs & expectations of those we serve & doing those
right things right every time .
It is the result of good intention, sincere effort, intelligent
thinking and skillful execution.
All dimensions like accessibility, appropriateness, continuity,
effectiveness & efficiency must be given equal importance in
quality.
5. QUALITY MANAGEMENT
“It is a holistic approach to the art of
managing quality output considering
together the people, process and products
rather than independent factors and driven
towards the objective with effective &
efficient performance output”.

24. QUALITY SYSTEM
Quality does not happen by chance
Quality needs to be systematically
developed
With objective planning, staff
involvement and considering patient
need.
25. DEVELOPING A QUALITY SYSTEM
Quality system
Quality Manual
Quality procedures
Quality plan
Quality audit
26. QUALITY SYSTEM
STAGE 1 –
Chief executive of the firm should commit to quality assurance by
declaring quality policy e.g. „Towards total customer satisfaction‟
Make formal statement of the objectives e.g. „ To achieve ISO 9002
certification in 18 months‟
Organizing management structure and defining responsibilities
following the above activities
STAGE 2 –
Examine and review the existing internal documentation, activities and
procedures prior to preparation of quality manual and quality
procedures i.e. quality system
STAGE 3 –
Apply general quality procedures to specific contracts when the quality
system is completed and fully approved internally.
Staff should be familiar with quality assurance and understand their
roles but training is required.
27. QUALITY SYSTEM
STAGE 4 –
Prepare quality plans and additional quality procedures
for specific contracts.
STAGE 5 –
Apply quality plans to specific contracts. Training may be
necessary.
STAGE 6 –
Internal and external audit of quality system; review
periodically all quality manuals and procedures.
28. QUALITY MANAGEMENT
It is a holistic approach to the art of
managing quality output considering
together the people, process and
products rather than independent
factors and driven towards the
objective with effective & efficient
performance output.
29. ELEMENTS OF QUALITY
MANAGEMENT
Errors in the hospital are invariably due to system failure in85% of
cases(Edward Deming).
Only 15% are attributed to people‟s performance.
Therefore attention should be given on bad system than bad people.
Improvement of systemic errors can be done by:-
Commitment of TOP Management,
Active support of Middle Management.
Education and training of staff.
Formation of quality management team.
Developing Quality culture in the work place.
Making aware all staff about the goal and objective of the organisation.
Developing quality policy and quality manual.
Developing Standard Operating Procedure for all areas (SOP) .
Good Hospital Information System (HIS).
Formulation of criterias and Standards for Measuring activities.
Constant monitoring and Supervision and feed back.
Introducing Medical Audit System.
Rectification of errors and Evaluation.
External quality control.

•QC activities focus on finding defects in specific out puts - e.g., are the
defined requirements the right requirements have been met.
•QC is set of activities whose purpose is to ensure that all quality
requirements are being met that is defect detection, and done by testing

46. QUALITY IMPROVEMENT
Maintaining the process of quality standards through
out and efforts made to improve upon is termed as
„continuous quality improvement‟.
Continuous quality improvement is therefore a key
component of successful management technique.
There are four “quality improvement initiatives” that
hospitals could use as a yardstick to achieve the best
outcomes:-
Nurses must be actively involved throughout the
process,
Quality outcomes should be transparent,
Decisions must be supported by quality research,
Staff should feel empowered to make decisions and
be held accountable
47. QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PLAN
The quality improvement plan emphasizes on three
aspects for continuous improvement

Total Quality Management is that aspect of the overall management
function that determines and implements the quality policy.
1. It is a business management strategy aimed at embedding
awareness of quality in the entire organizational process.

management techniques centered on quality, based on the
participation of all members focusing on long term success
through meeting customer needs, satisfaction and
organizational objective.
3. Quality management takes in to consideration PEOPLE,
PROCESS and PRODUCT
When along with these three elements Patients need is also taken into
consideration
It is termed as „TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT‟
