(33) T h e University of Illinois Hospital Quality Assurance Plan is closely related to the Health Sciences Center Risk-Management Program through active involvement of the campus risk manager and his staff on hospital committees which have major roles in the quality-assurance program of the hospital. T h e risk manager is a voting member of the Hospital Safety, Infections, Medical Records, and Quality Assurance Committees. H e is also a member of the Medical Staff Review Board, which is composed of senior members of the medical staff, the campus legal counsel, representatives from hospital administration, and nursing. T h e board reviews potential cases of medical malpractice. T h e review is focused on identifying errors in the system and making recommendations for changes in policy and procedure to prevent future occurrences. Another member of the risk management staff is a voting member of the Committee on Patient Relations which reviews patient complaints. These committee assignments involve risk management personnel in a variety of quality-assurance and risk-management activities ranging from patient complaints, documentation (medical records), safety, infection control, and quality-of-care audits (quality assurance) to actual and potential medical malpractice (Medical Staff Review Board). Such involvement permits the risk management program to educate the hospital staff, influence policy, and identify potential problems. I recommend your approval of the program as described above. (A letter from Vice Chancellor Schmidt and an accompanying document, describing the plan in detail, are filed with the secretary of the board for record.) O n motion of M r . Stone, this program was approved.
