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.
