title: Establishing hospital quality circles.
abstract: Since the success of the pediatrics quality circle, the QA committee at Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center has identified areas in the hospital that might benefit from a quality circle, such as the medical record department and the alcohol detoxification unit. The QA committee established these circles but will no longer play as active a role. An individual within each department or unit will be designated as circle leader, and the circle will be charged with implementing solutions.
