How can physicians can lead change instead of being the recipients of change? Erin DuPree, MD, chief medical officer and vice president of the Joint Commission Center for Transforming Healthcare, discusses ways physicians can be leaders of change in a recent Joint Commission physician blog post.
Dr. DuPree recently discussed one hospital’s success through physician-led quality improvement initiatives during a session at the 2014 AMA Organized Medical Staff Section (OMSS) Interim Meeting last month.
Joined by Michael Shabot, MD, vice president and chief medical officer of Memorial Hermann Healthcare System, Dr. DuPree looked at the Joint Commission’s attempts to bring high reliability to health care. She and Dr. Shabot also provided a case study of one health system’s success.
