Letter from the Editor

Welcome to the July/August 2008 issue of PHMI WORLD.

In this issue: The Wockhardt Hospital network looks to capitalize on the progress it has made in building a culture of quality, while nursing leaders from the U.S. and Dubai work to institute a professional practice model for the University Hospital in Dubai based on Magnet principles. Elsewhere in the Middle East, Alfaisal University and Lebanese American University prepare to open new medical schools. Also: PHMI's Bruce Dowton chairs a panel of internationally renowned scientists who are looking at the future of research in Australia, John Helfrick talks about hospital quality improvement and accreditation, and faculty from Harvard Medical School and other institutions converge to discuss what lessons a unique student exchange program can provide for understanding health care systems.

I hope that you will continue to visit PHMI WORLD and become a regular reader.   

Regards,
