The Textbook of TQ in Healthcare is the first true text prepared by healthcare professionals for healthcare professionals. It provides a discussion of the tools, techniques and principles of TQ. Academic programs will find this text very useful for courses in TQ, quality management, general and strategic management and leadership.The Textbook is also an excellent reference for students and professionals in medicine, nursing, allied health services, pharmacy and healthcare administration. The Textbook of TQ in Healthcare starts with an introduction and history of TQ and its movement from the manufacturing sector to the healthcare industry. Quality is then discussed as a major cornerstone of the healthcare delivery system. Principles, methods for implementation and the tools for assessing TQ progress are described. The Textbook concludes with a section on comparative analysis of TQ with other management philosophies. Also presented are a case study of a major healthcare facility that has actually implemented TQ and an excellent collection of articles that further expand the understanding of TQ.

Total Quality Management (TQM) is considered by many to be the answer to the severe problems currently gripping the healthcare industry. Yet while much has been written about the theory of TQM, little is available on the specifics of applying this theory to health care practice. How does one begin? How can the organization be structured to support these approaches? How can the effectiveness of these efforts be evaluated?Sharing the lessons they've learned by implementing TQM strategies in their hospital since 1987, Ellen J. Gaucher and Richard J. Coffey offer practical guidance for building an organization that successfully employs TQM--one that utilizes the philosophy of continuous improvement in all business and clinical functions, employs teams for problem solving, and continually strives to meet and exceed customer needs. They provide comprehensive guidance for realizing broad-scale organizational change, showing how by applying this approach, they have been able to improve speed, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness throughout their organization.

The emergence of "total quality" as an approach to organising, sustaining and improving quality of service offers considerable potential benefits to the health service in the 1990s and beyond. TQM is an integral part of effective management, not an optional extra. It is a system which in general results in greater awareness of how performance in delivering health care can be explicitly measured against agreed standards to the satisfaction of both patients and "purchasers". TQM is a comprehensive approach, both cultural and technical, and must embrace all staff, all disciplines and all activities. This text offers a description of what TQM is, how the quality culture can be developed, what the contributory technical components are and the benefits which can accrue from implementing this important organisational initiative.
