A Case Study of Hospital Quality Assurance

Presents a case study of hospital quality assurance in a regional hospital in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The focus is on the quality monitoring method used in the hospital. While the quality monitoring method may not be perfect, it does serve as a basis for evaluating the standard of care and ensuring that the full benefits of medical knowledge are being applied effectively to the needs of patients. It also allows for the recognition of problems so that remedial action can be taken to improve the level of care provided.
