Objectives:
So far, there is limited proof concerning the effects of the introduction of quality management systems (QMS) on organisational level. This study concerns the introduction of a QMS in a large rehabilitation hospital.
Methods:
Using an observational framework, a process-analysis is performed. The effects were analysed with repeated analyses using the Dutch version of the EFQM-model.
Results:
The introduction of a QMS can be seen as a change process; the pre-change diagnosis proved to be essential. Although many change-related aspects are vital, training and communication, in particular, seemed to be underestimated. Outcomes are a positive correlation between participation in quality activities and work satisfaction and a repeatedly favourable EFQM-score (compared to national levels).
Conclusions:
Through a process-analysis, information could be generated to guide organisations in introducing a QMS. An outcome analysis revealed positive effects both in the EFQM-score and the staff's work satisfaction.
