Quality Control in a Medical Information System

Peter J. Haug, Philip R. Frederick and Irena Tocino

Medical Decision Making, 1991, vol. 11, issue 4_suppl, S57-S60

Abstract: Quality assurance techniques provide an opportunity to identify sources of error and to provide the feedback necessary to prevent their repetition. The authors outline an effort to define the steps required for effective quality management procedures in a computerized medical information system (MIS). The computerized management of medical information can be used not only to enhance current quality management activities but also to extend the realm of quality assurance to areas that have heretofore resisted management. Quality-management techniques have the potential for measuring and improving medical decision making processes central to patient care.
