The Business Case for Quality
Decision making in today's health care organizations requires a continuous balancing act, often involving tradeoffs to meet various clinical and business needs. For decisions related to quality, it is especially important to be able to provide a sound rationale for the choices that are made.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Bring to mind a specific quality or safety challenge that might be encountered in a health care organization (choose a type of organization that is of particular interest to you).
Review the information presented in the Learning Resources, including the "Making the Business Case for Quality Management" section on pages 128-141 in Medical Quality Management.
