title: Can you make the grade? Leading employers want proof of quality.
abstract: Employers want proof of quality, so hospitals must now document and justify how they give care. To do that effectively, you need an information system that can track the right data and a quality program that compares performance to regional and national norms. Above all, you need to listen closely to what the public wants.
