Hey,

Per our earlier conversation, I just want to make sure that we’re on the right track, and that I’m understanding everything. I’ve put together a list of questions I have. If you can answer these for me, that would really help me out. Here they are:

  • What is the purpose of quality management in the health care industry? And why is it needed?
  • Why do various health care stakeholders define the quality of care differently?
  • What roles are involved with QI?
  • What areas must be monitored for quality?
  • What accrediting and regulatory organizations are involved in QI? What are their roles?
  • What helpful resources and organizations affect QI?

Thanks for your help with all of this!
