Editor’s note

Dear readers,

A few of the articles in this week’s Medical Staff Leader Insider address issues that may or may not increase patient risk. One addresses whether low-volume providers and hospitals put patients at greater risk when performing procedures they rarely perform. The other article speaks to whether having a resident assist during a procedure affects patient outcome. Do you think either of these affect patient care? What are you doing to ensure patient safety when a resident or low-volume provider performs a procedure? Let me know.
