One of the latest remedies for poor quality services is seen as being redesign of the health care system. Redesign is charged with political meaning, representing a radical challenge to practitioners and managers. But is it really a new approach? Although it draws on theories of re-engineering and total quality management, it is a pragmatic blend of components of both. Early findings suggest that quality improvement has been achieved but this has not been as extensive as anticipated. Redesign is in danger of being seen as the new magic bullet and thus may be being set up to fail. It may prove to be one more in a succession of discarded change management fads.

5S-CQI-TQM is a management technique that is aimed at bringing satisfaction of staff as well as the patients through improvement of working environment. A cross-sectional comparative study was carried out among 226 respondents who were selected purposively from the selected study place from 1st January to 31st December 2017. Among 226 respondents, 113 were taken from Dhaka Medical College and another 113 were taken from Mugdha Medical College. Among 113 respondents, 56 respondents were health care providers and 57 respondents were health care receivers. The purpose of this study to compare the management of services in Total Quality Management implemented (Dhaka Medical College and Hospital) and non-implemented (Mugdha Medical College and Hospital) health facilities. A Semi-structured interviewer administered questionnaire and an observational check list were developed to collect the data. Separate questionnaire was used for health care providers and health care receivers. The statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS (statistical package for social science) version 20 statistical software. Significant statistical differences were found between TQM implemented and TQM non-implemented hospital regarding workload (p=0.043), hospital authority always seriously consider staff’s suggestions for the improvement of quality of service (p<0.001), employees always respect to each other in the hospital (p<0.001) and 35 (62.5%) service providers expressed satisfactory opinion regarding management of the hospital.

Abstract This chapter provides an introduction to statistical process control and the concept of total quality management. It begins with a review of quality improvement efforts in the extrusion industry and the considerations involved in developing sampling plans and interpreting control charts. It then lays out the steps that would be followed in order to implement statistical testing for billet casting, die performance, or any other process or variable that impacts extrusion quality. The chapter concludes with an overview of the fundamentals of total quality management.

Abstract Public concern over increasing health-care costs plus dramatized testing errors, has resulted in CLIA '88 with its more stringent rules governing laboratory performance. The purpose of the 1990 U.S. Health Care Financing Administration Final Rules for Proficiency Tests is to separate the quality laboratory from the poorly performing one. From the perspective of total quality management, the customer (patient) defines quality as virtually error-free test results. The current proficiency testing format defeats this. Its effective purpose is not to identify quality laboratories but to shut down the most prolific laboratories--regardless of their quality. There are two reasons for this. First, the proficiency testing format is incomplete: it is missing a minimum frequency criterion. Second, the data for determining the quality of a laboratory's performance (the degree of error-free results) are not being used. I propose a solution based on continuous improvement that promotes voluntarism, favors the quality laboratory, and reduces federal regulation.
