- In March 2001, The Institute
of Medicine (IOM) published this report entitled Crossing
The Quality Chasm, A New Health Care System For The 21st
Century. The Renal Physicians Association (RPA) Board
of Directors extensively reviewed this publication and its
implications for the delivery of quality patient care at
its January 2002 Board meeting. Crossing The Quality Chasm
sets goals for a major overhaul of our health care delivery
system which may serve as a blueprint for changes to come.
