What do you know about management systems, why they have evolved (rather improved over time) and what they have been designed to do? Are you interested in learning more? Please respond with a reply.

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.
