the European Crimean war , written several quality
criteria in nursing care considered to be first nursing
care standards in history.
In 1918, the American College of surgeon provided the
criteria and standards for accreditation for Hospital
standardization programme, adopted by Joint
commision on Accredition of Hospital(JCAHO) in 1952.
In 1966, Avedes Donabedian first introduced three
measure of quality: structure , process and outcome
for monitoring and assessing the quality of care.

5. In INDIA , a consumers protection Act was
implemented in 1986. US Agency of International
Development (USAID), funded a multi-million dollar,
the Quality Assurance in developing project in 1990,to
introduce Quality Assurance in developing countries .
In New Millennium , for accreditation of health care
organization WHO has taken the lead.

6. CONCEPT OF QUALITY:-
The concepts of quality in health care were
grounded in the works of industrial experts . In
industries , the importance of quality first began to
be appreciated in 1940s and in 1950s.
The quality is defined is various ways:-
“ Quality is the degree to a product
confirms to specification and workmanship
standards’ . ( John D maclellan).

7. The quality is defined as “ the degree to which
the patient care services increases the
probability of desired outcomes and reduce the
probability of undesired outcomes given the
current stage of knowledge”. ( Joint commision
for Accreditation of Health Care Organisation).

8. APPROACH TO QUALITY:-
Juran developed a three part approach to
Quality:- Quality planning, quality control and
quality improvement.
 Quality planning involves- determining who the
customers are and what their needs are , then
developing products based on those needs
desinging processes to produce those products.

9. Juran’s concepts
of quality -

10. Quality control is the evaluation of performance
to identify discrepancies between actual
performance and goals;
Quality improvement establishes and
infrastructure and the project team to carry out
process improvement .

11. PURPOSES OF QUALITY:-

“ Quality Assurance is a judgement concerning the process
of care, based on the extents to which that care contributes
to valued outcomes” (Donabedian,1982)
“ Quality assurance is the defining of nursing practice

 Quality management is becoming integral to the
delivery of health care. It is considered more
organized a coordinated and integrated approach to
manage / improve processes that affect patient
outcomes . It is an organized and integrated system of
continuous quality improvement aimed at meeting
customers’ expectations”.

15. Contributortributors to TQM):-
Total quality management was the work of Deming , Juran and
Crosby. Their contributions to TQM are regarded as three
paths , and one journey.

 To establish specific quality goal.
 To improve quality as a responsibilty shared by all
employees.
 To educate and train the employees.

user of services or results . Produced by antecedent
events in the process of rendering or episode or
regimen of care .

17. PRINCIPLES OF TQM:-

problems and follow a process similar to that used in
nursing process .
It should be focused on work process, customer
orientation and statistical data analysis .

18. The emphsis on management accountability
work and continous improvement.
It needs systems, tools and techniques that can
convert this approach into realities.
Creating client focus , long range plan,
continuous improvement , daily process
management and employees involvement.

19. MODELS OF QUALITY ASSURANCE / MANAGEMENT
IN NURSING:
AMERICAN NURSES’ ASSOCIATION ( ANA ) MODEL:-
This model is given by Long and Black in 1975. This is the first
proposed and accepted model of quality assurance , which was
meant for the nursing profession but was used by various
other professional in the health care. This is a cyclic model . It
helps in self determination of patient and family , nursing
health orientations, Patient’s right to quality care and nursing
contribution.

20. COMPONENT OF ANA MODEL

21. 1.IDENTIFY VALUE
2.IDENTIFY STANDARDS AND CRITERIA
. Stracture strandard .
. Process Standard
. Outcome standards
3. SELECT MEASUREMENT
4. MAKE INTERPRETATIONS
5. IDENTIFY COURSE OF ACTION
6.CHOOSE ACTION

22. 7. TAKE ACTION
8 REEVALUATION

23.  IDENTIFY VALUE:- In the ANA value identification looks as
such issue as patient /client, philosophy , needs and right
from an economic, social , psychology and spritual
perspective and values philosophy of health care
organization and providers of nursing services.
 IDENTIFY STANDARDS AND CRITERIA:- Identification of
standards and criteria for quality assurance begins with
writing of philosophy and objective of organization. The
philosophy and objectives of an agency serve to identify the
structural standards of the agency.

24. ↪️Structural standards :- Standards of structure are defined by
licensing or accreding agency . Another standard of structure includes
organizational charts , which shows supervisory methods ,
communication patterns and staff patterns and sometimes staff
assignment .
↪️ Process standard:- A process standard is more specific apraisal of
quality of care being given by agency care provider. An agency can
choose to use standards of care set froth by professional organization
or agency can use nursing process and apply it to the activities of the
nurses as activities of nurses as activities correspond to the procedure
of care defined by the agency.
↪️ Outcome standards:- Outcome standards reveal end results of
nursing care.

25.  SELECT MEASURMENT:-
Measurements needed to determine degree of atainment of
criteria and standards are:
Nursing audit, utilization’s review and review of agency of
documents , self studies and review of physical facilities are
used to measure structural standards; Peer review , client
classification , admission , readmission , discharge data and
morbidity data are used to measure outcome standards .

26.  MAKE INTERPRETATION :-
The degree to which the predetermined criteria are
met is the basis for interpolation about the strength
and weakness of program . The rate compliance is
compared against the expected level of criteria
accomplishment.

27. IDENTIFY THE COURSE OF ACTION :-
If the compliance level is above the normal or the
expected level , there is great value in conveying
positive feedback and reinforcement. If the
compliance level is below the expected level , it is
essential to improve the situation . It is necessary to
identify the cause of deficiency , then it is important
to identify various solution of problems.

28.  CHOOSE ACTION :-
Usually various alternative course of action are
available to remedy a deficiency . Thus it is vital weigh
the prose and cons of each alterntative while
considering the environmental context and the
availability of resources . In the recent that more than
one cause of deficiency had been identified ; action
may be needed to deal with each contributing factor.

29. TAKE ACTION :- It is important to firmly establish
accountability for the action to be action . It is
essential to answer the questions of who will do ,
What? By when? This step then concluded with actual
implemented of the propsed course of action.
REEVALUATION :- The final step of Q A process
involves an evaluation of the result of action . The
assesment is accomplishment in the say same way as
the orginal assesment and begins the QA cycle again.

30. DONABEDIAN MODEL:-

31.  DONABEDIAN quality framework is recognised as a method of
measuring quality structure, process and outcome in the mid
of 1960.
◾STRUCTURE:- As the input to the health care system to
include both human and physical resources associated with the
delivery of the health care to the patient .
◾PROCESSES:- Includes all procedure and activities required to
delivery care by provider and support system.
◾OUTCOMES:- Include results and output of the care process
e.g. – morbidity and mortality rate, patient’s satisfaction.

32. FOCUS – PDCA MODEL : QUALITY MANAGEMENT
MODEL:-

33. FOCUS PDCA is actually an acronym used for an approach
to problem solving and FOCUS stands for
 (I) Find a process to improve
(ii)Organize a team that knows the process ,
(iii)Clarify current knowldege of process,
(iv) understand the problem ,
 (v)selecting after understanding the problem and
selecting the solution.
Use PDCA model – (i)Plan the improvement effort
(ii)Do the plan , follow all step of action plan.
(iii)Check the difference in results (iv) Act on these
results i,e, write policy , train the staff and continue
monitor.

34. ◾QUALITY EVALUATION SYSTEM IN HEALTH CARE:-
Audit systems
Quality awards
Peer assessment

giving services.
◾CONCURRENT:- Review of necessity of care while the care is
given.
◾RETROSPECTIVE:- Analysis of the neccessity of services
received by the client after the care has being given.

38.  EVALUATION STUDIES:- Evaluation studies can be conducted
by using various quality assurance model . The main model
are Donabedian structure proccess outcome model ; the
tracer model; the sentinel model etc.
 CLIENTS’ SATISFACTION:- Client satisfaction can be assessed
using person or telephone interviews and mailed
questionnaire. Data from client satisfaction surveys are used
to measure strucure process and outcome of care given.

39.  INCIDENT REVIEW :- During a patient’s hospitalization several

corporation”.

44.  LEAN AIMS AT CUSTOMER FOCUS - Defining and increasing
value to the customer.
It means smooth process flow , doing only these
activities that add customer value and eliminating all
other activities that don’t elimination of waste of

3.Identify the value stream , the sequence of
activities
4.Eliminate activities that do not add values

46. 5. Allow the customer to “pull” products /
services ( increasing demands rather than pushing
( by over production / supply ).
6. Improve the process ( strat all over again)

47. 5 S SYSTEM OF ORGANIZATION :-
1.Sort
