Total Quality Management (TQM) plays an important role in improving hospital service operations. Hospitals provide services through many processes such as patient admission, diagnosis, treatment, and discharge. Managing these processes efficiently helps ensure quality care and patient satisfaction. TQM focuses on continuous improvement, proper use of resources, and maintaining high standards of service. It encourages teamwork, employee involvement, and regular monitoring of activities.
In the healthcare sector, good service quality is essential because it directly affects patient safety and outcomes. TQM helps hospitals reduce errors, improve efficiency, and deliver better care. It also supports the use of technology, trained staff, and proper systems to enhance performance. This study examines how TQM practices improve hospital services and operational efficiency. It also identifies key factors like employee performance, patient satisfaction, and process management. Overall, TQM helps hospitals provide safe, reliable, and high-quality services.
