Book excerpt: Quality improvement: it's an attractive concept on paper. So why do the vast majority of quality improvement efforts fail? William Roth knows from experience: as a Ph.D in systems theory, an ex-corporate manager, a professor-and the designer (with the AQP) of a national program to deliver training for quality credentials in the systems approach. His belief: enduring quality improvement is an "all or nothing" situation-requiring a systemic approach, with all the key components and integrations in place and fully integrated right from the start. Quality Improvement: A Systems Perspective explains the sometimes surprising historic roots of the quality improvement movement, and outlines the systems theory on which successful models must be built. Readers then gain access to the hands-on, nuts-and-bolts, how-to-get-it-done details of the five critical phases. Three case studies (two in industry, one in health care) support this traditional but currently shunned model. Along with his unique unified view of quality improvement, Roth explains why it is shunned, and why alternative approaches usually do not produce the desired results. Key obstacles to success are directly identified-top-level management, local union leaders, management education. The ultimate culprit, though, is culture-to which Roth suggests how to move organizations in the right direction, from a systems perspective. With one of the most comprehensive overviews of quality management essentials in one volume, Quality Improvement: A Systems Perspective balances theory and modeling with the details of real-life implementation and success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on quality work in higher education, and examines the relationship between the organizational and pedagogical dimensions of quality work in higher education. Bringing together different disciplinary traditions, including educational science, sociology, and organisational studies, it addresses the following principal research question: How is quality work carried out in higher education? The book addresses a wide variety of academic, administrative and leadership practices that are involved in quality work in higher education institutions. The chapters in this book examine core issues crucial in the design and content of study programs, such as modes of teaching, learning and curricula design, as well as institutional practices regarding assessment and quality enhancement. The introductory and concluding chapter present an overarching focus on quality work as a lens to analyse intentional activities within higher education institutions directed at how study programmes and courses are designed, governed, and operated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this monograph is to construct a package of proposals which will allow an NHS Board to achieve improvements in the delivery of patient care and implement its clinical governance responsibilities. Prepared with a specific Board in mind, the recommendations will be relevant to all clinical organisations in Scotland at Trust and NHS Board level. The introduction sets out the study and the context for the monograph. The study started with the key principles relating to clinical quality outlined in 'Designed to Care' (The Scottish Office Health Department, 1997) and the 'Scottish Health Plan' (The Scottish Executive Health Department, 2000) and reinforced in other associated documents. It examined international writing on improving clinical quality and on the nature of governance arrangements. It examined whether it is possible to establish a baseline within the system in terms of clinical quality and examined what now needs to be done to ensure that, as Chief Executive of the NHS Board, accountabilities can be delivered. It also looked at the method by which the NHS Board can best deliver its responsibilities in relation to governance in this area. A model for progressing this within an NHS Board has been constructed and an action plan showing how this can be implemented will be prepared. It is envisaged that the action plan will have to be implemented over a medium-term time scale of 12-18 months. Clinical quality of service and governance arrangements are in them- selves different issues - either can exist alone. However, unless they fit together, with governance arrangements focussed appropriately, then this system of working will not lead to any improvement; indeed it will detract attention from the real issues of the day, and no assurance will be achieved. The challenges around implementing the new governance arrangements were central to this monograph and before looking at how this could be effectively done, it was necessary to understand the reasons behind the importance of this accountability within the Scottish NHS in further detail.

Download or read book Quality and Risk Management in the IVF Laboratory written by Sharon T. Mortimer and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-02 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public concern over high-profile mistakes in IVF clinics and the concomitant increase in governmental regulation, have given rise to widespread recognition of the need for accreditation of IVF clinics. Modern accreditation schemes are largely based on the principles of ISO 9001 and related standards, at the heart of which lies the expectation of a formal quality management system. Risk analysis and risk minimization are also being demanded of IVF clinics, but many only have limited understanding of how to approach these essential management tasks. This book brings together the basics of quality management and risk management, focussing on 'prophylactic management' - prevention rather than cure. Each chapter in this new edition is fully updated and extended to include new material such as, quality and risk management in the ART clinic, and an illustrative example of a 'well-run' clinic. This is the essential guide for clinicians and IVF laboratory staff.

Book excerpt: What is "Lean?" Whether referring to manufacturing operations or maintenance, lean is about doing more with less: less effort, less space, fewer defects, less throughput time, lower volume requirements, less capital for a given level of output, etc. The need to provide the customer more value with less waste is a necessity for any firm wanting to stay in business, especially in today's increasingly global market place. And this is what lean thinking is all about.Lean Operations are difficult to sustain. More Lean Manufacturing Plant Transformations have been abandoned than have achieved true Lean Enterprise status. There are solid and recurring reasons for both of these conditions. The most significant of these reasons is that production support processes have not been pre-positioned or refined adequately to assist the manufacturing plant in making the lean transformation. And the most significant of the support functions is the maintenance operation, which determines production line equipment reliability. Moving the maintenance operation well into its own lean transformation is a must-do prerequisite for successful manufacturing plant - or any process plant - Lean Transformations. This Handbook provides detailed, step-by-step, fully explained processes for each phase of Lean Maintenance implementation providing examples, checklists and methodologies of a quantity, detail and practicality that no previous publication has even approached. It is required reading, and a required reference, for every plant and facility that is planning, or even thinking of adopting "Lean" as their mode of operation.* A continuous improvement strategy using new "lean" principles* Eliminate wasteful practices from your manufacturing or chemical processes, increasing the profitability of your plant* Save thousands of dollars a year on new equipment by keeping your existing equipment maintained using this revolutionary method
