This paper presents a quality roadmap of a restructured hospital. Specifically, a case study is showcased to reveal how a FOCUS-PDCA model is applied to the Central Portering Services (CPS) within a restructured hospital, to provide better service to other departments within the hospital who can then in turn value add to the patient care delivery chain. The preliminary results suggest that implementers of quality and service improvement programmes using the FOCUS-PDCA approach should note some of the key implementation difficulties. These difficulties occur at all levels and include issues relevant to change management, process improvement programmes, accessibility to data, communication and judicious execution of the change process.
