Dr. Hoke commented that the MCOB Quality Subcommittee can make direct
recommendations to the MCOB and to the Medical Center’s Quality and Patient Care
Committee. Ms. Sutton-Wallace stated that the Rector has recommended that Board
meetings involve more discussion and fewer power point presentations. Dr. Kanto asked
that meeting materials be sent out earlier to permit review by the Subcommittee before
the meeting. Dr. Pelton asked that summaries of articles be prepared.

that motion.

visits. She stated that all hospital and home care programs are fully accredited.
