Emphasis on Quality:

In order to increase the quality of care in prevention, I have recently become a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and a Texas Award for Performance Excellence Examiner.  A "must read" is "Safe Patients, Smart Hospitals," by Peter Pronovost.  Dr. Pronovost has developed a process and mindset that has virtually eliminated central line infections, saving countless lives and money.  Other key quality resources are:

Chasing Zero
Why Hospitals Should Fly
The Checklist Manifesto
Institute for Healthcare Improvement
Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
