Medical revalidation: From compliance to commitment

"Medical revalidation, with the right conditions, can be a valuable driver of behaviours and cultures that support sustained quality improvement. The time to develop those conditions is now. Above all, leaders should bear in mind that large-scale change requires them to have the tenacity and vision to create a process that is valued by all who are involved in it."
