Abstract

This article addresses the challenge of maintaining high quality patient care in a large, diverse health care organization as it merged and moved from a functional to a program-based management structure.

The operationalization of the PPM, including the committee structures which were put in place to support it, are discussed. The final section of the article highlights the strengths and challenges which have arisen through the development and implementation of the Professional Practice Model.
