Recenzje

"The moral responsibility to provide high quality care in an increasingly complex healthcare industry challenges the best healthcare organizations. Fierce competition for resources and the multidisciplinary nature of healthcare can leave organizations less focused and structured than needed to achieve their quality goals. The Hospital Quality Book is a fantastic resource for providing a practical and straightforward path to attain quality objectives. Douglas C. Johnson captures his decades of learning during his practice as a system, process, and quality professional. It is truly scalable to each organization’s current capabilities and can be used to stand up an entirely new program or as a reference to assist established programs in accelerating performance."
