Welcome to No Harm Done! – a podcast about improving, managing, monitoring and getting on with quality and safety in health and human services. In this episode we unpack more components of leading and managing quality improvement, including tips for working with doctors, reinforcing the key role of consumer input and partnerships, project management, a LEE-IT framework (who stole the ‘D’?), an awesome hack from Jones and much more – oh, and ‘getting rid of stupid stuff’ as a quality improvement strategy!
ALSO! Let us know the most unusual place you have listened to our podcast – which country, city, suburb? at work/home/school? in the bath? up a tree? Let us know on Twitter or via our website.

I find much of my time as a Quality Manager being taken up with document control. With no-one to delegate this to currently, can you suggest a way in which this does not become all-consuming? The internet is a minefield of document management systems which automate revision and approval, however I don’t know where to start and wondered if you had some suggestions. In addition, I strive to comply with ISO 9001 in this area however feel I may be over-complicating things. Any advice?
