A Case Study in Health Care Quality
The debate over health care reform has largely centered on issues of costs, spending, and insurance coverage. But what about the quality of health care that Americans are receiving? How does it measure up to what we know is needed to keep people healthy? Join us for this discussion among several of PRGS's faculty, students, alumni, and supporters who have been intensely involved in efforts to bring a sharper focus to the critical issue of health care quality. |
