Abstract

Definitions are introduced to give insight in the field of work of quality management in relation to responsibilities in NMMI. A relational model visualises the relationships when working on the road to quality excellence. The standards such as GMP, GCP, ISO 9001 and EFQM with examples can help put these models to practise. The road of NMMI in the University Hospital in Groningen presented in boxes gives lessons learned. Additionally the A3 model to prioritise issues on the road to quality excellence is explained.
