Description
The Healthcare Quality and Improvement Committee is a collaborative technical committee between the ASQ Quality Management Division and the ASQ Healthcare Division. 

Our Mission: “Be a resource for the effective foundational and emerging performance improvement methodologies relating to health and healthcare systems.”

Team Objectives:
  1. Target higher levels of leadership, such as the CEO, CFO, CIO, CSO and others, with techniques to assist organizations to fit quality and performance methodologies into their overall strategy.
  2. Engage in research and application related to both the Quality Management and Healthcare sections of the overall QBoK as they apply to health and healthcare content.
  3. Use a holistic approach to system level value realization, explore the boundaries of performance and process methodologies such as Lean, Six Sigma, TQM and others to support the growing demands of health and healthcare at the global level.
  4. Reinforce the existing relationship between the Quality Management and Healthcare technical communities for joint member interest and industry segment content.
  5. Document and publish, using a range of media and social channels, the results of committee research and application, including activities related to all three published focused areas. 
  6. Explore the overlap in customer segments and content between the Quality Management and Healthcare Divisions through joint study, research, writing, presentations and other deliverables.
  7. Expand the offerings in support of the customized Healthcare quality management system model with additional Monographs and tools supporting the improvement and sustainability of performance excellence in traditional healthcare institutions
