QUALITY MANAGEMENT TEMPLATE

Committee on Performance and Outcomes Measurement (CPOM)
Committee on Quality Management and Departmental Administration (QMDA)

Members of the above ASA committees have developed this Quality Management Template as a service to ASA members. The ASA House of Delegates has not reviewed this product. The Template is made up of two components, the first a document containing an overview of the quality management process, subdivided into the following sections:

• Introduction and Overview
• Principles of Quality Management
• Data Collection Tools
• Peer Review
• Model Quality Management Database Instructions
  
  Members may access the Template by logging in to Members Only.
  
  Members who have not completed the Professional Profile survey will be directed to the survey site before they are allowed to download the QM Template file.
  

The second component is the Model QM Database described in the above document. The Database is available on CD-ROM by sending an email request, including your name and mailing address to publications@asahq.org.
