  "There are too few adults in clinical trials, especially in the field of cancer," says Jed Weissberg, director of medical research for Kaiser Permanente, which recruited employees for the STAR trial of two anti-breast cancer agents. Noting that the situation is far different in pediatric oncology trials, where by far the majority of patients participate, and where results are also much better, Weissberg says, "In pediatric oncology, the field is so specialized, and there are so few oncologists, that they have a very strong network because they've put in the infrastructure to ensure that we learn from the treatment of every child."
  
  Kaiser recruited patients for the STAR trial by sending information to members in its health plan. "We didn't explicitly go to Boeing and Lockheed and say, 'We want you to put the information on your Web site.'" Kaiser mailed information on the trial to its membership. "We also sent ads and marketing materials out to all of our own employees, because the vast majority of Kaiser employees are also our health plan members," said Weissberg.

  "People here are fairly comfortable and fluent using these approaches," says Jed Weissberg, MD, associate executive director of quality and performance improvement for the Permanente Federation, "but we no longer have cult-like devotion to Juran or Deming or anyone else.We have taken what we find useful from all of these approaches for our day-to-day tool set."
  
  It's difficult to put a price tag on QI, but the case for improvement becomes more compelling every day.There's the human cost of avoidable morbidity and mortality, not to mention the economic cost."Reducing the Costs of Poor Quality Health Care Through Responsible Purchasing," a June report by the Juran Institute and the Severyn Group for the Midwest Business Group on Health, estimates that administrative inefficiencies, together with overuse, underuse, and misuse of clinical services, waste 30 cents of every health care dollar.
