Abstract:
This presentation will focus on the Institute of Medicine’s
various quality initiatives, and describe one hospital system’s
commitment to build a culture of quality. Clarian Health Partners
is the third largest hospital in the United States, and the lecturer,
Professor McBride, chairs the Board’s Quality and Patient
Care Committee. The strengths and challenges of building a culture
of quality will be discussed. A paradigm shift is taking place,
moving away from a sole emphasis on what individuals do to achieve
professional excellence to an emphasis on how individuals must
be supported by a work environment committed to quality and safety
in which patients can expect best practices.

psychology of parenthood, and to psychiatric-mental health nursing.
Her first book The Growth and Development of Mothers was recognized
as one of the best books of 1973 by both The New York Times and
the American Journal of Nursing. She has contributed to more
than forty other books, and has published numerous articles in
both professional journals and popular magazines.
Professor McBride is an acknowledged

University Council) boards/advisory committees. Professor McBride
