Trustees do not seem to agree on how quality accountability will be accomplished, but they are starting to agree that procedures to establish quality accountability are necessary. They also agree that leadership from the board level, coupled with a firm resolve to monitor quality, will ensure that hospitals provide high-quality care and services to their most important and influential customers: patients. The manufacturing industry has provided the health care industry with the benefit of its experiences with continuous quality improvement, including the pitfalls. It is both exciting and challenging to learn the philosophies of total quality management and build a customized strategy for excellence, especially in medical record departments. As a customer of numerous processes throughout the health care organization and a supplier of products and services as well, the MRD represents a common thread throughout the organization, often linking people and departments together. A medical record professional who is working in a health care organization whose executives believe in TQM can expect great things in the decade ahead.

DRGs and PPS have had a major, negative effect upon hospital reimbursement. Hospitals now focus upon methods for improving and increasing reimbursement from third-party payers. More payers are using DRG-based reimbursement methods. DRG payment review offers a viable solution to the problems brought by stringent payment plans and has potential benefits for the MRD as well. MRD directors should investigate DRG payment review alternatives and from such efforts, attempt to maximize the benefits to the hospital and their own departments. Success with DRG payment review identifies the MRD as an objective, results-oriented revenue generator and, thereby, can improve performance throughout the hospital and among the medical staff.
