The goal of TQM is to involve all employees and empower them with the
responsibility to make a difference in the quality service they provide.

TQM philosophy as it relates to the individual’s job and the overall goals and
mission of the organization.

The creation of Dr. W. Edwards Deming, TQM was adopted by the Japanese
after World War II and helped transform their industrial development.

QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

A quality management system is a technique used to communicate to employees what is


required to produce the desired quality of products and services and to influence
employee action to complete tasks according to quality specifications

A quality management system (QMS) is a set of policies, processes and procedures


required for planning and execution (production/development/service) in the core
business area of an organization. (i.e. areas that can impact the organization’s ability to
meet customer requirements.)

13
QUALITY MANAGEMENT PROCESS
Performance standards
Performance measures

Quality Control

Quality Improvement

14
STANDARDS
A predetermined level of excellence that serves as
a guide for practice.
Standards of practice allow the organization to
measure unit and individual performance more
objectively.
Examples: Policy and procedures manual

15
PERFORMANCE MEASURES
Key Performance Indicators (KPI)
a quantifiable measure of performance over time for a specific objective
KPIs cannot improve quality, however, they effectively act as flags or alerts to identify
good practice, provide comparability within and between similar services, where there are
opportunities for improvement and where a more detailed investigation of standards is
warranted.
The ultimate goal of KPIs is to contribute to the provision of a high quality, safe and
effective service that meets the needs of service users

AUDIT AS A QUALITY CONTROL TOOL
An audit is a systematic and official examination of record, process,
structure, environment or account to evaluate performance.

According to Donabedian healthcare quality can be assessed using


a three-part model based on the structures, processes and outcomes
of the healthcare system. This division of healthcare has allowed
the identification of data across the full spectrum of healthcare that
contributes to monitoring the quality of the various constituents of
healthcare delivery.

Quality Measures or Indicators

Structure:
Measures of infrastructure, capacity, systems,
Process:
Measures of process performance.
They tell whether the parts or steps in the system are performing as planned.
This can be “in process” or “end of process”
(e.g., timely administration of prophylactic surgical antibiotics).
Outcome:
Measures that show results of overall process or system performance
(often risk adjusted, e.g., mortality)

QUALITY IMPROVEMENT (QI)
QI is the application of tools and methods to implement, test, and improve
effective quality improvement practices.

QI efforts should be based on sound evidence, rigorous assessment,


implementation, adoption, evaluation, dissemination, and sustainability
➢Continuous quality improvement (CQI) never ending process, everything
and everyone in the organization subject to continuous efforts
➢Use of a systematic method to deal the quality issue. An example : PDSA

21
PLAN-DO-STUDY-ACT
(PDSA)
➢ Originate industry and Walter Shewhart and
Edward Deming's articulation
➢Cyclical nature of impacting and assessing
change, most effectively
➢ Repeat as needed until the desired goal is
achieved

22
PLAN-DO-STUDY-ACT (PDSA) MODEL
PLAN: Plan a change Act Plan
- Objective
DO: Carry out the plan. - What changes
are to be - Questions and
made? predictions (W hy?)
- Plan to carry out
STUDY: Look at the results. - Next cycle? the cycle
(who, what, where, when)

ACT: Standardize the


improvement or new actions Study Do
- Complete the analysis - Carry out the plan
of the data - Document problems
- Compare data to and unexpected
predictions observations
- Summarize what - Begin analysis
was learned of the data

23
STEPS FOR SUCCESSFUL CQI PROGRAM
➢ Build a team to address
➢ Define the problem
➢ Choose a target
➢ Plan the Project
➢ Choose The Tools
➢ Identify Causes
➢ Develop Solutions
➢ Implement Solutions
➢ Review Results
➢ Standardize
24
CONTINUOUS QUALITY IMPROVEMENT (CQI)
There are four major players in the CQI process:

● Resource group
● Coordinator
● Team leader
● Team

25
PROBLEM
STATEMENT
• Why are you doing this project?
• What is the problem you are addressing?
• Who is affected?
• When is it a problem?
• Why does it matter?
• How does it affect the patient?

• Consider aligning your project with at least one of the


Institute of Medicine’s six dimensions of quality: safe,
effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, equitable.
• Current situation is , leading to (undesirable event).
26
AIM STATEMENT:
What are you trying to
accomplish?
• Aims should be SMART, specific, clear,
well-defined, and at a minimum describe the
target population, the desired improvement,
and the targeted timeframe.

• To improve (your process) from


(baseline)% to (target)%, by (timeframe),
among (your specific population).
• To increase / decrease:
(structure/process/outcome)
• From: (baseline %, rate, #, etc)
• To: (goal/target %, rate, #, etc)
• By: . (date, 3–6-month timeframe)
• In: (population impacted) 27

FISHBONE/ISHIKAWA DIAGRAM
What is it?
• A visualization tool for brainstorming potential causes of a problem.
• Brainstorm all possible causes of the problem and put them in the
appropriate category.
• Keep prompting, ‘why?’
• Larger categories (Can include equipment/supplies, environmental
factors, rules/policy/procedure, technology, people/staff) help with
brainstorming.

When do I use it?


Useful in brainstorming sessions to focus the conversation. *You need to
have an agreed upon problem statement.*
Helps to engage people in an in-depth discussion on the problem.
Use when you are trying to assess the root causes of the problem.
