     The private institution of quality centered management system model for healthcare(QMS-H) has been established to develop a necessary QMS model, techniques, and tools for high-quality healthcare service provision, and has the following three major issues.
    1) To develop QMS-H model that includes what kinds of organizational function should be necessary in a hospital, methods to implement daily management effectively, and analysis tools for process improvement.
    2) To establish a method to introduce and promote QMS in a hospital that covers introduction steps, education contents on QMS, and a problem solving procedure.
    3) To prepare a mechanism to make the developed models, techniques, and tools spread all over Japan.
     This article describes what kinds of research activities has been done for QMS-H in the past, and clarifies the future issues to be done.

     Our hospital which is for patients in the chronic stages of illness was in need of improving its quality. We participated in the Quality centered Management System For health care(QMS-H model) which is based on ISO9001, and in the Patient condition adaptive path system(PCAPS), which serves as a visualization of medical technology. As a result, we concluded that improving the quality will visualize the procedures and following those procedures is important in avoiding accidents.
     The QMS-H model is a method for following procedures. PCAPS is an actual manual for medical procedures. Therefore, we see that that there is value in introducing both QMS-H and PCAPS. Further, a lack of accidents leads to greater patient satisfaction and is one aspect of high quality care.

     Several years ago, we developed Patient Condition Adaptive Path System( PCAPS). It describes an overall flow of possible clinical pathways that a patient’s disease state may trace and detailed medical judgment and treatments for each disease state. The application of PCAPS makes it possible to implement proper medical interventions according to disease state. Medical records kept in the PCAPS will give useful information on the patient’s state, the interventions at the state and the effects of the interventions. Through the analysis of these records, it is possible to improve the standard treatment plan.
     The structured clinical knowledge will play an important role as a foundation for healthcare quality and safety, and a basis for upgrading the level of clinical processes in each hospital. It will be the most important to establish body of structured knowledge on clinical processes to be shared in a healthcare social system.

     A Younger Researchers Group in the Hokuriku region of the Chubu Branch of the Japanese Society for Quality Control is launched as one of the Branch activities in 2006. This group took a different form from the one in the Nagoya region because of time and expenses. Because quality management activities in the region did not appear robust, the Group has hosted two types of annual presentation meetings: one for technical college/graduate school students presenting their graduation theses and the other for young business persons with work experience of at least five years presenting their achievements. This report introduces the organizations backing the Group, the concepts and major achievements of the operations, and the challenges going forward. Also, this report includes the message for younger generation in a future of the quality management field.

     Summary:Much of recent trouble is generated at the gray zone, which is not a clear dangerous domain, and can be either dangerous or safety by the condition. In the gray zone, there are often inconsistencies between the ingenuity for efficiency by field engineers and workers, and the rules for the safety and high reliability by design engineers, and it often develops in trouble. This paper would like to consider what kind of communication is expected by the whole organization, and what kind of cooperative relationship it's necessary to build to secure safety and the high reliability in a systems operation.

     Tukey's procedure of multiple comparison, namely T-method, is called WSD or HSD at present. We tried to investigate public informations on the internet, papers and literature, and to make clear the situation of the confusion concerning WSD and HSD.
     As a result of the investigation, there were a lot of authors who called T-method as Tukey's procedure before 1960. But it might be referred from 1960 to 1980 as WSD, and it would be referred as HSD after 1980.
     It was said that all of WSD, HSD, Tukey's procedure are the same method before 1960 at least. After that, HSD is referred as Tukey's a-method and WSD have begun to be referred as Tukey's b-method.
     Some authors said that Tukey proposed Tukey's b-method, but we can not enough clarified who tried to use WSD and HSD separately first. Such confusion might be merely caused from that posterior scientists and engineers individually quote various literature.
     T-method was called WSD at first, as mentioned above, so they shouldn't be classified. We hope that this paper will be able to avoid the unnecessary perplexity, and if possible, it's desirable to unify the name by WSD.
