SAN ANTONIO - Army-Baylor University students discuss the principles of high-reliability healthcare Sept. 11 on the anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The area of study will be a key component of the university’s homeland security and hospital preparedness curriculum.
Army Surgeon General Lt. Gen. Patricia Horoho is championing high reliability healthcare throughout military medicine and the nation’s healthcare system.
“Advancements in Army Medicine are an important part of our healthcare and our ability to continue to improve,” said Horoho. “But, at the heart of our pursuit of excellence is a culture of patient safety and becoming a highly reliable organization.”
Since 1947, Army-Baylor University has been one of the nation’s leading programs in graduate health and business administration. Today, under the leadership of Program Director Lt. Col. Forest Kim, Ph.D., FACHE, Army-Baylor continues to provide high-value service in the healthcare leadership community.
