UC Irvine Introduces New Medical Center Ombuds
In response to a series of scandals involving its medical programs, the University of California at Irvine announced the creation of two new positions: a vice chancellor for health affairs and an ombuds to handle complaints and concerns from UCI medical personnel. The ombudsman position has been filled by attorney Gecole Harley of Georgia, who reports directly to the chancellor. UCI officials hope the vice chancellor and ombuds will be more successful at preventing trouble than a similar reform effort a few years ago that did not include an ombuds. (LA Times.)
