Participants were 105 Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of independent nursing practices who answered a TQM survey using The Malcolm Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence (MBCfPE). The quantitative responses were analyzed using SmartPLS version 3.0. For qualitative data, selected six participants from total respondents were interviewed to explore the participants' understanding of TQM. All the responses were transcribed and uploaded using NVIVO ver. 11 for thematic analysis.Results: Leadership positively influenced strategic planning, customer attention, assessment analysis, and information management (focusing on personnel process management and efficiency) (p <0.001). In addition, process management indicated a positive influence on performance results (p <0.001). Interview transcriptions concentrated on the following themes that emerged, such as quality focus, service focus, human resource focus, performance result, leadership, service system design, strategic planning, and information system.Conclusion: TQM with the adaptation of MBCfPE criteria improves the organization's performance and serves as a strategic component in assessing and implementing sustainability change. The findings of this study can be used by CEOs of independent nursing practices for continuous improvement. In addition, the results serve as a basis for the ministry of health for accreditation to ensure the high quality of health care services.

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar a teoria sobre Gestão por Processos de Negócio (BPM - Business Process Management). Para isso foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica sistemática e foram utilizadas técnicas de análise de publicações, citações e de bibliometria. Os resultados mostram a multidisciplinaridade de BPM, como as diferentes áreas de pesquisa compreendem o tema e como praticam essa abordagem. Dentre os periódicos relevantes para o tema, destacaram-se o Business Process Managament Journal, Knowlegde and Process Managemente Total Quality Management & Business Excellence. Dentre as abordagens de aplicação foi possível verificar que existem três tipos adotados pelo estudo e ao todo foram identificadas oito práticas de BPM. As redes de bibliometria mostraram a existência de agrupamentos bibliométricos que pouco interagem, e a relação de BPM com as abordagens de gestão da qualidade e reengenharia. Apesar do aumento de publicações na área, o que mostra a relevância do tema, as publicações tendem a seguir escolas distintas e que ainda atuam de forma isolada na área de BPM.

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.

The object-oriented (OO) approach to building information systems, if applied correctly, can greatly enhance the quality of the finished software product. This emphasis on greater quality is paralleled by the management philosophy known as Total Quality Management (TQM). Based on the common theme of ‘quality’, parallels are drawn between the OO and TQM philosophies in order to optimize on the benefits to quality software engineering offered by the object-oriented approach.
