Note: Since the First Annual APA Conference, the
literature in healthcare quality improvement has grown
dramatically. This bibliography is necessarily selective
and highlights recent additions to the literature, as well
as very selected classics with general guidance, and
required and suggested reading for the breakout
sessions. We have tried to emphasize pediatric
examples. Previous bibliographies are still available,
both for the conference breakout sessions and the
ii
supplementary bibliographies. Suggestions for additions
to the bibliography can be shared with members of the
Conference Planning Committee.
