ABSTRACT

After two years at the helm of the Joint Commission, Mark Chassin, M.D., is pressing forward with efforts to turn the Joint Commission into a partner with hospitals and other providers and transform health care into a "high reliability" enterprise along the lines of the aviation and nuclear energy industries. Hospitals & Health Networks asked health care experts and Chassin himself how he's doing so far.
