Self managed teams differ from quality circles in the respect that unlike quality circles where the employees voluntarily come together to suggest or develop quality improvements, in self managed teams, the entire work process is structured around team work, with the team taking critical decisions. Also a quality circle may or may not be empowered by the upper management but the empowerment is built into the very concept of self managed teams. Self managed teams unlike quality circles are not managed by an external supervisor, personnel manager, administrator or a quality manager but rather facilitated by a team leader from within the team. He is either chosen by the team members or appointed based on experience or skills
The use of quality circles has decreased significantly.

Managed care was developed in response to rising healthcare costs and a perceived need to control the quality and delivery of healthcare services. It aimed to promote cost-effective care by emphasizing preventive measures and efficient service delivery. Managed care organizations negotiate with healthcare providers to create networks and govern access to care to meet quality standards and control expenses.

The disadvantage of quality circles in an organization has to do with management. The quality circle can come up with good ideas and management will fail to implement them. This is a bigger slap in the face than not having a quality circle in the first place. It is doing work to improve the organization only to see it shot down. Management sees the quality circle as a tool to get the members of the quality circle to figure out how they can improve their own work. The members of the quality circle see the circle as a tool see what they need so the company can become more effective. The two goals are at odds.
