Abstract
Introduction: The quality concept originated and was coined in industry; however, it has been applied to medicine and has constantly evolved in the last few years. In anesthesiology, continuous quality improvement is a must, and some areas should be enhanced through the implementation and development of plans and outcomes assessments.
Objectives: This article discusses in a simple manner the evolution of the quality concept in the area of anesthesia.
Discussion: The quality concept was adopted in health care in the 1900s; however, its application in Anesthesia came about several years later.
Conclusion: Although the Quality Management concept in Anesthesiology came to life a few years ago, it is rapidly developing and gaining acceptance.
