Introducing quality assurance to a state hospital medical staff.
Establishing a quality assurance program in a developing state hospital requires considering the unique problems of being a physician in such a setting. The hospital and medical staff must be developed to the point where consideration of quality of care is a feasible goal. Managers can take advantage of the interests of individual medical staff as well as serendipitous factors promoting a program.
