This study addresses managers’ awareness and familiarity with Total Quality Management (TQM). Eighteen (18) semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted with managers working in a variety of service organizations in Greece. The major argument of the study is that although the acronym TQM and some of its concepts and practices are known by a range of public and private sector managers, actual awareness of its “soft” side is often superficial, and managers have a relatively poor understanding of it. TQM is neither resisted nor directly absorbed by them, but they tend to see it from the technical point of view, being aware only of the importance of its “hard” aspects.

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.
