JAMA article "Improving the Quality of Health Care- Who is responsible for what?" JAMA Jan 14 301(2),2009
Perspective on developing a framework for a patient/physician/delivery system roles for quality.
Interesting paper that provides a framework that tries to tease out the issues. The challenges will be moving from a theoretical framework to collecting data to implementing the data into processes that can demonstrate improvement in quality. I think there will still need to be an overall quality manager within the proposed framework. It makes a good comment that "balancing carefully designed incentives that promote professionalism mibht ultimately lead to the highest quality of care. ". I agree.
