C. Senior Administration Accountability

The Director of Risk Management and the Director of Quality Programs now meet every other week with the Vice President and Provost for Health Sciences. The purpose is to bring problems in the provision of patient care to his attention, and to plan corrective actions.

The committee commends the Medical Center administration for thorough review of its own procedures and endorses the changes initiated. We believe these changes should improve operations and significantly decrease the likelihood of adverse events. However, we recognize that changes to procedures are effective only if consistently carried out. We strongly urge the Medical Center administration to hold staff accountable for their responsibilities.
