The implementation of a quality management system (QMS) in the health-care world is nowadays mandatory. This is a specific request not only of local laws but also of the World Health Organization which recently said that "By the year 2000, there should be structures and processes in all member States to ensure a continuous improvement in the quality of health care". In addition, we are bombarded by demands from patients, physicians, employers and the administration. However a QMS is something new for the medical doctor. We think that the first step to divulge the culture of quality in our field is to have a good knowledge of the specific terminology used in the QMS. This glossary explains the meaning of more than 80 terms related to the QMS.

A prototype miniature neutron source reactor (MNSR) with a thermal neutron flux of 3.0 x 10(11) n cm(-2) s(-1) has been used to determine the concentrations of some nutrient elements leading to short-lived activation products in commercial tea leaf samples from Nigeria. A total of eight elements Al, Ca, Cl, Cu, K, Mg, Mn and Na, that can be routinely used for quality control purposes, were analyzed in this study. Two biological reference materials, tomato leaves (NIST-1573) and citrus leaves (NIST-1572) were used as the standard and quality control materials, respectively. The analytical results show that the average concentrations of Al, Ca, Cl, Cu, K, Mg, Mn and Na in Nigerian tea are slightly higher when compared with a Chinese herbal tea analyzed in this study. The concentration ratios of K/Ca were found to be high in all the samples analyzed suggesting cultivation in potash-rich soils.
