Are academic medical centers more likely to try new care deliery/ quality improvement strategies compared to non-academic hospitals?Depends on what they're aiming for. If the goal is to be top dog at a powerhouse medical center then they'll probably need to be a department chair, which means they'll do a residency and then rise through the academic ranks.
If the goal is more like a mid-level administrator or perhaps CEO of a public hospital then they don't need all the academic cred.
