Abstract

This paper provides a description of an integrated, web-based and fully automated healthcare institution quality management system. The system includes many features and applications that provide better alignment with quality assurance strategy and best practices benchmarks. It is based on a proven design approach that supports and enhances the quality of medical and healthcare services. The different stakeholders are provided with a common framework for designing, implementing, controlling, evaluating and improving these services. The software system is customizable and scalable in the sense that additional functionality based on the needs and requirements of individual institution can be easily implemented or supported.
