Presented By:  Richard Roberts, MD, JD

This presentation will discuss the history, evidence, and limitations of the quality movement in health care.   The inadequacies of current methods will be highlighted and a new scientific paradigm will be offered.   The principal message is that patient values and preferences, and local circumstances, need to be incorporated when developing, implementing, and measuring quality improvement initiatives.

Desired Outcomes:

• Describe the history, methods, and limitations of quality improvement initiatives.
• Evaluate the impact of at least one major population-based quality program.
• Develop sufficient understanding of basic quality principles to use them in practice.
