Abstract:
This paper describes HIQMA, an integrated, web-based, and fully automated healthcare institution quality management system. HIQMA includes many applications, starting with a quality handbook for the individual beneficiary organizations and not ending by the development of service guidelines. It is based on a result-proven design approach that will enhance medical and healthcare services. The different stakeholders are provided with a common framework for designing, implementing, evaluating and improving these services. The system is scalable in the sense that additional professional development tools based on the worked service guidelines can be implemented.
