Quality Assurance in Military Hospitals - A Proposal for Reform

Abstract

This thesis examines the statutory and regulatory structure of medical quality assurance in the Department of Defense. This structure raises fundamental questions about the effectiveness of current medical quality assurance efforts at both the Department of Army and Department of Defense levels. This thesis concludes that deficiencies in current quality assurance efforts may be remedied through promulgation of Department of Defense directives creating medical quality assurance and credentials review programs at the Department of Defense level.
