"Although Scott & White has been involved in outcomes studies for several years, we feel it's time that health care be truly accountable. In order to do this, we need to measure the results of what we're doing in our everyday practice," explained Kermit B. Knudsen, MD, director of the Scott & White Center for Outcomes Studies in Temple, Texas. Knudsen shares his perspective with Health Care Strategic Management publisher Donald E.L. Johnson, Knudsen's goal for the center is to have outcomes studies become a routine part of medical practice, measuring the actual "quality of health" outcomes for patients treated at Scott & White.
