A systemwide quality assurance/risk management program.
Physician involvement throughout this systemwide quality assurance and risk management program is a key element in the program's success. Physicians report through their own medical staff organization to a centralized quality assurance committee that interfaces between the board of directors and the medical staff of each hospital. The program is bolstered by complete support from the board and administration.
