Peter Rudd, MD
Professor of Medicine (General Internal Medicine) at the Stanford University Medical Center, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly Interests Quality improvement efforts seek to make medical care the best it can be rather than merely good enough to avoid censure. Focus on improving the average performance usually produces more net benefit than eliminating outliers, often by simplification, standardization, and specification. We have worked with electronic medication monitors, clinical databases, and computerized order entry systems for better clinical outcomes and trained clinicians for professionalism and accountability.
