“…Although LQAS is underpowered to provide confidence intervals, this method is pragmatic and provides quick results from a small sample size, allowing for the provision of rapid performance feedback during the intervention period, which could not be afforded with more labour-intensive sampling processes. 18,19 Discharge summaries were assessed by the primary authors (T.

“…The proportion of discharge summaries adequately documenting MCI and MFU was calculated during the intervention period based on an adaptation of the Lot Quality Assurance Sampling (LQAS) method. Although LQAS is underpowered to provide confidence intervals, this method is pragmatic and provides quick results from a small sample size, allowing for the provision of rapid performance feedback during the intervention period, which could not be afforded with more labour‐intensive sampling processes …”

5-S is the first step towards TQM. Over the last century, the Japanese have formalised the technique and named it as 5-S Practice. Since 1993, Sam Ho has improved and defined its terms in English/Chinese and developed the world's first 5-S Audit Checklist. In the article, an emergency department of a Hong Kong hospital was examined against 5-S 50-point Checklist for the improvement of their quality assurance systems towards its accreditation process with Australian standards. The findings evidently reveal that the impact of 5-S on hospital quality assurance in the unit are positive. Riding on the above scenario, the research aim is to identify whether the 5-S practice is a suitable and effective tool for healthcare quality assurance in an emergency setting which is led towards its accreditation process set by other mechanisms.
