Computer support for continuous quality improvement.
Continuous quality improvement (CQI) methodology is predicated on data-based decision making, using both statistical and nonstatistical data tools. The current generation of commercially available quality management computer software does not integrate the basic CQI tools. A variety of off-the-shelf programs can be used to supplement the resource needs of CQI methodology.
