The Quality Assurance CommitteeThe events in the Pediatric Cardiac Surgery program in 1994 were never discussed or reviewed by the HSC's Quality Assurance Committee, which is a committee of the HSC's Board of Directors. Thorfinnson testified that this was because the matter was not brought to the Committee's attention. He indicated that he believed that it should have been brought to the Committee. However, he also stated that he believed the Committee would have allowed the Department Heads to deal with the issue.
