Efficient. Delivering health care in a manner
that maximizes resource use and avoids waste.
➢ Equitable. Delivering health care that does not
differ in quality according to personal
characteristics such as gender, race, ethnicity,
geographical location, or socioeconomic

Quality Assurance
➢
HQS510
Quality assurance (QA) is closely
related to, and sometimes
confused with, CQI. QA focuses on
conformance quality, which is
defined as “conforming to
specifications; having a product or
service that meets predefined
standards” (McLaughlin & Kaluzny,
2006).

Continuous Quality Improvement
(CQI)
➢
“The combined efforts of everyone—
health care professionals, patients and
their families, researchers, payers,
planners and educators—to make
changes that will lead to better patient
outcomes (health), better system
performance (care) and better
professional development (learning)”
(Batalden & Davidoff, 2007).

➢
➢
Like the field itself, its name has evolved from total
quality management (TQM) to continuous quality
improvement (CQI), or simply quality improvement
(QI).
From TQM to CQI➢
Represents a fundamental change in how
organizations have come to recognize the
importance of ensuring that changes are
improvements and that the improvement
processes are ongoing, requiring learning and
involvement in the process at all levels, from
the individual to the organization level.

Recent Contributions of Japanese Quality Engineers
Total participation is required of all members of an
organization (quality must be company-wide).
The next step of a process is its “customer,” just as
the preceding step is its “supplier.”
Communicating with both customer and supplier is
necessary (promoting feedback and creating channels
of communication throughout the system).
Emphasis is placed on participative teams, starting
with “quality circles.”

to be a professional responsibility, a

managerial tactic.

► From Industrialization to Personalization
Craft requires that the individual improve with
experience and use the tacit knowledge produced to
develop a better individual reputation and group
reputation. Craft activities can be leveraged to a
limited extent by a community of cooperating and
teaching crafts-persons.
➢ Mass production requires the discipline that
produces conformance quality in high volume at low
cost. Critics sometimes refer to this approach using
terms such as industrialization or the deskilling of
the profession and occasionally mention Henry
Ford’s assembly lines as a negative model.

Improvement (CQI)
► From Industrialization to Personalization
➢ Process enhancement requires that processes be
analyzed and modified to develop a best-practice
approach using worker feedback and processowning teams within the organization.
➢ Mass customization requires that the
organization takes that best practice, modularizes
and supports it independently, and then uses
those modules to build efficient, low-cost
processes that are responsive to individual
customer wants and needs.

Key features of PDSA application:

2.
Prediction-based test of change (developed in the
plan stage)
3.
Small-scale testing (build as confidence grows—
adapting according to feedback and learning)
4.
Use of data over time (to understand the impact of
change)
5.
Documentation (to support local learning and
transferability to other settings)

The trend is continuing on a global scale.
The institutionalization of CQI in public
health continues to grow due to various

sectors, such as national and local
accreditation efforts.
