Continuous improvement in health care: transforming the hospital department.
Each department in a hospital is given the responsibility of managing its own day-to-day work. For the hospital as a whole to change, the individual departments must undergo a similar change. As each department aligns itself with the purposes of the whole organization, synergy is created and the hospital gradually, incrementally, becomes a new kind of place to give and receive care.
