Dr. Bernell Mellema Receives Physician Leaderhip in Quality Award
Dr. Burnell Mellema, ACMC-Willmar, was named the winner of this year's Physician Leaderhip in Quality Award by the Minnesota Medical Association (MMA).

Selected by the Quality Healthcare Committee of the MMA, this prestigious award is given each year to the Minnesota physician who has done the most to promote quality healthcare in the state. The award recognizes Minnesota physicians who exhibit a commitment to the application of quality improvement methods, demonstrate leadership in advancing healthcare quality and safety, foster a quality in their work environment, and inspire those around them.

Dr. Mellema is the Care Improvement Medical Director for ACMC. He is a tireless physician leader who heads the Best Practice Committee. He promotes measurement and reporting to his colleagues. He is devising methods to use electronic medical records to measure quality and e-prescribing, and is promoting health literacy and cultural competency to meet the needs of the changing population in the communities we serve. Dr. Mellema's active medical practice is invaluable as it provides opportunities for him to "test" a guideline project and provide suggestions for change based on his personal experience as a physician.

The award was presented to Dr. Mellema at the 154th Annual Meeting of the MMA at Mankato's Alltel Center on Wednesday, September 19th. Congratulations to Dr. Mellema on this outstanding achievement!
