In this final paper, we are going to take a closer look at how we can apply the borrowed theory from W. Edwards Deming on quality improvement to decrease medical errors. We will discuss how Deming’s theory can be applied to address this issue, along with the origins and other applications of Deming’s theory. Overview of the Issue Throughout clinical practice
