The involvement of the groups and the organizations members in quality improvement of the products and services that those manufacture and delivery, is a undeniable reality. Specific projects have been carried out, inside of the more broad improvement programmes, for encouraching the employees involvement in the enterprises, two of which are described and analyzed in this article: Quality Circles and Suggestions System. Quality Circles are a group way for achieving that objective of involvement in the own work improvement, while the Suggestions are one of individual type and may be anonimous. We analyze the opinions and the attitudes of the members of eight enterprises from «Comunidad Valenciana» to their participation in these programmes and the difficulties for carrying out the proposals. For gathering these data we are carrying out the proposals. For gathering these data we are applied a lateral thinking technique, so-called Metaplan. Finally, according to the proposals of all the participants, we subscribe a range of measures for improving as the design as the execution of the programmes.

Quality Health

Summary Health care has witnessed considerable progresses toward quality improvement over the past two decades. More precisely, there have been global efforts aimed to improve this aspect of health care along with experts and decision-makers reaching the consensus that quality is one of the most significant dimensions and features of health system. Quality health care implies highly efficient resource use in order to meet patient’s needs in terms of prevention and treatment. Quality health care is provided in a safe way while meeting patients’ expectations and avoiding unnecessary losses. The mission of continuous improvement in quality of care is to achieve safe and reliable health care through mutual efforts of all the key supporters of health system to protect patients’ interests. A systematic approach to measuring the process of care through quality indicators (QIs) poses the greatest challenge to continuous quality improvement in health care. Quality indicators are quantitative indicators used for monitoring and evaluating quality of patient care and treatment, continuous professional development (CPD), maintaining waiting lists, patients and staff satisfaction, and patient safety.

Missing out one small step in a complex procedure can lead to an error. A checklist is a list of actions that can identify the small but crucial steps which may be missed out. Checklists are just one of the tools used to form a culture of continuous quality improvement (QI) in veterinary practice. QI is about understanding the level of care practices provide and implementing interventions to try to improve it. Checklists have been used in aviation and in human healthcare to reduce errors. The use of a surgical safety checklist can be very effective both in human healthcare and in veterinary practice. Checklists can be used in many other areas of practice too. They are a patient safety system, not just a piece of paper, they encourage teamwork, communication and situational awareness and can help to reduce errors

Context.—Providing blood products for transfusions is a complex process subject to errors both within and outside the transfusion service. Transfusion-related errors can have grave consequences for the patient undergoing transfusion. As with many processes performed within health care systems, there is an expectation of error-free practice. Although this is an unobtainable goal, a focused quality-management plan, employing a medical event reporting system in a just working environment, can effect measurable system-quality improvement. Objective.—To illustrate the intrinsic value of quality-improvement activities through discussion of examples of quality misadventures from our transfusion service during the past 20 years. Data Sources.—Examples of quality-improvement activities were extracted from our quality-system archives. The published literature on transfusion quality was reviewed. Conclusions.—Active reporting, structured investigation, and systematic resolution of transfusion-related errors are effective methods for improving and maintaining transfusion quality.
