Outlines for improvement of clinical care quality.

This paper presents a set of quality outlines that can be used in the total quality management improvement process for clinical care. The outlines describe problems, potential causes, quality improvement opportunities, and potential methodologies and solutions to improve 15 clinical areas. The necessary improvement steps will depend on the area evaluated, and enhancements can only occur through the commitment of the medical staff and the taking of action steps. When the improvement of quality is given priority, financial gains for the hospital and decreased malpractice risk for the medical staff will follow.
