Thus the authors comment about its importance for Nursing and analyse its utilization in a Nursing Service of a private hospital, with purpose to evaluate the implementation form, nurses' involvement and the Deming' Principles application. Data show that the implementation has brought good results, nurses are engaged in the process and the Deming's Principles have been utilized, adequate or inadequately.
