Interview: Greg Pawlson, MD, MPH, Executive Vice President of the National Committee for Quality Assurance
When it comes to healthcare, how can we know that we’re getting good value?
Especially when the person receiving the care often isn’t the person who’s footing the bill?
That’s the question that the National Committee for Quality Assurance is grappling with.
