The clue is in the name – a QMS is not a QMS if it doesn’t include a management system. Join the Sig webinar of the 15th of this month. It will be fun! Do you know the difference between Management and a management system? Join us on the 15th and find out.

Looking forward to joining this event, John! Are you also going to share your insights re. BS ISO 7101 please?
-
Yes, BS ISO 7101 will be a play a key part of my response to questions and discussion. Your input will be valuable – line up some questions and offer some solutions.

Hi Tom would love to hear your view on iso 7101 and also wanted to see how 7101 and IMS approach fit with with each other, the system is so complex and how we can embed these standards without overwhelming clinical teams on the ground in practice in the real world.

Once the structure of the management system is understood (many many UK organisations already use it) by the NHS thing become less complex, particularly because it is based on what we do every day at work.

About this group
There is now a growing interest in Quality Management in healthcare. This Special Interest Group will help those interested in learning about or implementing a Quality Management System (QMS).
In Quality Management there is a great deal of emphasis on:
- Documenting how work gets done (the steps that comprise the process).
- Examining the flow of work between people or workstations.
- Giving people the knowledge and methods they need to constantly improve that work.
There are a lot of different process improvement methods but almost all of them serve one of two purposes:
- To eliminate variation in quality and speed (a major source of error).
- To improve process flow and speed.
The majority of process improvement work should fall into one of those two categories.
This SIG is convened by Tom Rose.
