✦ Synopsis

Health care reform efforts are focusing on the responsibility of clinicians and administrators to combine controlling costs with improving the quality of health care. This article describes how Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has approached this responsibility to provide cost-effective and quality health care services to veterans. To reduce the difficulties arising from the wide geographic distribution of VHA facilities and the limitedfinds for systemwide training, the Quality Management Institute and Education Center (QMI) located at the Veteran Affairs (VA) Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina, created the Quality Academy, a distance learning experience. A brief summary of the process and progress of the Quality Academy is included.
