Abstract
This article presents a conceptual paradigm by which health care execu tives and other interested parties can classify and organize the extan t literature on quality improvement in health care. The paradigm also has utility as an operational tool by which health care managers may l ocate conceptually their own institutional efforts at quality improvem ent within the realm of possible action.
