The Resource Management Initiative (RMI) is a policy thrust designed to more effectively utilize current expenditures in the United Kingdom's National Health Service by (1) integrating clinicians into management through a "clinical directorate," (2) establishing a closer external audit of the medical profession, and (3) implementing information systems. This article reviews the results from the first RMI sites and suggests a fit between the RMI effort and current programs in total quality management and continuous quality improvement.
资源管理倡议(RMI)是一项政策举措,旨在通过以下方式更有效地利用英国国家医疗服务体系中的当前支出:(1)通过“临床管理部门”将临床医生纳入管理;(2)对医疗行业建立更严格的外部审计;(3)实施信息系统。本文回顾了首批RMI试点的成果,并表明RMI举措与全面质量管理和持续质量改进方面的当前计划相契合。
