ABSTRACT
A continuous quality improvement program can provide the means through which medical organizations can guide their activities. This article illustrates how a pediatrics department in an urban medical center incorporated continuous quality improvement into the management of health services. Key elements of the Quality Assurance program included the organization and facilities in the department of pediatrics, important processes related to patient care, and outcome measures. If a structure is established that allows participation in decision-making and mutual adjustment, trained professionals can perform up to their standards and those standards of their peers. Involvement of physicians in the design of quality management programs and other administrative strategies offer an opportunity to develop a working formula for ongoing success.
