ON DOCTOR DONALD M. BERWICK

UPDATE: Ezra Klein also likes Dr. Berwick and you can read one of Berwick's papers here.

CMS hasn't had a director since 2006 so I'm glad Pres. Obama went around the "Just Say No" GOP senators and appointed one during the congressional recess. The whining has commenced but we also have mentions of support for Berwick.
The American Medical Association has praised Dr. Berwick, saying he is “widely known and respected” for his efforts to improve the quality and safety of care. (NYT)

The American Hospital Association was among the groups that weighed in to support Berwick Wednesday. (AP)
