“While quality is difficult to define precisely, it almost always includes caring for each other, is always useful, has always involved hard work on someone’s part and when we are involved with it as either a provider or a receiver, it always feels good. Because it feels so good, I believe all of us carry in our heads a clear idea of what quality is for ourselves.”
William Glaser, M.D.Education Week, May 13, 1992
