title: A materials-management quality assurance program.
abstract: Because the quality of a hospital depends on more than just the quality of its clinical departments, shouldn't the QA efforts required of clinical departments be duplicated throughout the institution? With the sensible insistence that quality should be a hospital-wide phenomenon, one materials manager explains how his hospital developed and implemented a materials QA plan.
