title: Davidson and O'Leary talk to each other--and Modern Healthcare. Interview by John Morrissey.
abstract: The heads of the American Hospital Association and the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations waged a war of words this spring. At issue was the JCAHO's plan to seek a contract that the AHA contended would push the commission into the role of a regulator. Modern Healthcare broke the story about the disagreement. Now, Richard Davidson and Dennis O'Leary tell Modern Healthcare in an exclusive interview that they have patched up their differences.
