As hospitals begin to pursue total quality management or continuous quality improvement strategies, they are finding that the data collected from various departments to assess quality often are incomplete and inconsistent and that the decision support systems used by hospital departments frequently are incompatible. A common MIS environment produced by establishing a common database manager can eliminate these problems.
