Health Affairs Article: "Creating A Framework For Getting Quality Into The Public Health System"

This week, we'll be highlighting papers published in the new edition of Health Affairs, entitled "Still Crossing the Quality Chasm." This edition explores the question of quality as raised in the 2001 Institute of Medicine report, Crossing the Quality Chasm, and explores how far we have come since its publication... while also anticipating the road ahead.
