Paul, in your second to last paragraph I think you meant to name the journal as "Academic" medicine, not American medicine. (That's what you get for not sleeping. (:)
The article you cited is a fascinating, rubber-meets-the-road analysis full of practical pearls for anyone wishing to improve their institution's quality program. The only useful comment I can contribute is that everything said in it was familiar to me as a medical staff member of community hospitals, instead of academic centers. The issues are entirely the same, and the process and cultural changes identical. This is happening in every hospital in the country, not just in academic centers.
