Discussion:
Conduct research on one Quality Assurance/Improvement organization that exists to ensure quality healthcare for patients. This should be an organization that promotes, monitors, or benchmarks quality in healthcare settings, not a healthcare provider like a hospital, who provides actual patient care.
Create a 1-2 page report based on the information listed below:
• Name of Quality organization. (Please provide a link to the website, if available.)
• Year founded
• Mission statement
• Seeks to serve what type of members?
• What does it do for its members?
• How and where does the organization promote quality? (Give details.)
• Would you consider joining this organization in your career as a healthcare professional?
