Abstract
AbstractOn July 7, 1998, I received an invitation from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to become a member of the Committee on Quality of Health Care in America. The Committee, chaired by Bill Richardson of the Kellogg Foundation, was an outgrowth of an IOM Roundtable on Quality of Care, chaired by Mark Chassin and Robert Galvin.
