Comments
The title of this report is Evaluating Quality of Care. This report contains a discussion concerning the quality of care throughout the medical profession amongst John M. C. Betts, Board of Directors, Courtney C. Bishop, M.D., Chief of Staff, Eugene Fitzpatrick, M.D., Phyllis J. Pallet, Assistant Director, Patient Care Studies, Donald C. Riedel, Ph.D., Chairman, Patient Care Studies, Louis G. Welt, M.D., Chief of Medicine, and Charles B. Womer, YNHH Director. Some of this discussion stems from the Third Party Payer system and the accountability of the hospital to assure services are necessary and the length of stay appropriate. There are also sections in this report with updates on construction projects and highlights from the past year.
