The Commonwealth Fund - A Wealth of Information

One does not have to venture far into the Healthcare Quality literature, before coming across the first-rate research of The Commonwealth Fund.

In determining the best approach in developing and sustaining a Hospital Quality Program, I refer the readership to a paper published in July 2004 (Meyer, Silow-Carroll, Kutyla et. al.). Another paper published in November 2003 (World Health Organization) also outlines the essential ingredients for success.

_____________
The Commonwealth Fund is a private foundation that aims to promote a high performing health care system that achieves better access, improved quality, and greater efficiency, particularly for society's most vulnerable, including low-income people, the uninsured, minority Americans, young children, and elderly adults.
The Fund carries out this mandate by supporting independent research on health care issues and making grants to improve health care practice and policy. An international program in health policy is designed to stimulate innovative policies and practices in the United States and other industrialized countries.
