Abstract:
Through nearly 90 years' continuous development and improvement, quality management and accreditation in the American healthcare field has already become an integrated, well-functioned and unique system from which we can learn a lot. This article not only briefly introduces this system in eight aspects, including independent quality management departments, specialized professionals in healthcare quality management, and integrated committee systems of quality improvement, but also explores some good points which we can buy in.
