Over the years, the U S. Health care system has become a major concern due to many factors causing it to spiral out of control such as growing costs, negligence, and personal debt. These factors along with others have caused health leaders to focus on ways to become more transparent and patient centered. In order for health leaders to do become more transparent and patient centered, they must focus on ways to improve quality and patient care. Health leaders are behind the scenes so engaging physicians in quality improvement initiatives is critical, since physicians are the key decision makers related to the care a hospitalized patient receives and are integral to hospitals’ QI projects (Liebhaber, Draper, & Cohen, 2009, p. 1).
