Quality Matters It’s always there, in the back of my mind. I can hear my mother and my grandparents imploring me from a very early age - “If you’re going to do something, do it well.” That has stuck with me. The three of them inspired me with their rigor, “stick-to-it-ness,” and integrity - my grandparents with fifth and eighth grade educations and my mother who is wicked smart til this day but went to work versus going to college after high school graduation. I am a first generation college graduate; doing my best and achieving high quality were instilled in me. I’ve benefited greatly, over the past 15 years, from being part of what’s lovingly ...

Quality is in the AI of the Beholder…. I mean the Eye of the Beholder! Introduction When I think of quality, Philip B. Crosby, author of the book Quality is Free: The Art of Making Quality Certain comes to mind, as he made his home in Winter Park, Florida, which is close to where I live. Crosby emphasized that "quality is free," meaning that investing in quality from the outset will ultimately save money compared to the costs incurred by not doing things right the first time. My Dad also impressed upon me that if you care about a task or job and you want a quality outcome, do it right the first time! Like most of you, I value quality. ...

Leading Boldly for the Future: The Under-appreciated and Unrealized Power of Relationships Greetings AUPHA members: For several months, I’ve found myself constantly thinking about relationships. Personally, and professionally. I don’t do “transactions.” I don’t know how. I’m not good at it. And I don’t care for the approach. I do relationships. I always have. And the older and more experienced I’ve gotten, the more I realize how incredibly important my relationships are, and the more I appreciate the profound long-term impact my relationships have had on my career and my life. One of my longtime mentors, the healthcare quality improvement ...

Welcome to the AUPHA Exchange. As we look forward to the Annual Meeting in less than two weeks, the 75th anniversary makes me think back on my almost 45 years of engagement with AUPHA. In the early years of AUPHA, we would meet in Washington, DC, where we would connect with health policy and meeting legislators. Since then, AUPHA has become the big tent for health administration education and research. My early mentors in health information technology were Charles Austin and Stuart Boxerman. Both men inspired me in my academic research and teaching. AUPHA has provided me with continuous education, collaboration with colleagues, and the opportunity ...
