A Total Quality Management Programme for the Spanish Health Care System was set in motion in 1986. The first phase of the programme covers three areas: (1) information sources, (2) training, (3) Total Quality activities, through a cascade of four coordinated projects. The first one defines a basic nucleus of patient information and established two national standards: (a) a minimum basic data set, (b) the use of an ICD-9-CM Spanish translation for codification of diagnoses and procedures. The second is an open demonstration project implementing these two standards in National Health Service hospitals and carrying out intensive training on ICD-9-CM codifiers. The third project encompasses two pilot studies on case-mix measurements systems and cost analysis framework. Through the fourth project concepts, methods and tools for Total Quality Management are developed, setting up specific working groups on clinical and organizational indicators for hospitals and primary health care.
