“…Xiong and colleagues propose a measurement instrument that enables benchmarking of quality management practices and identification of best practices in hospitals. The instrument consists of nine constructs relating to 1) top management leadership, 2) quality policy, 3) role of the quality department, 4) training, 5) process management, 6) customer focus, 7) employee relations, 8) quality information and analysis, and 9) supplier quality management (Xiong, He, Ke, & Zhang, 2015). These constructs could easily be applied to logistics practices in a hospital and some of the constructs can be characterized as logistics or supply chain measures.…”
