UCLA Report to Regents on Patient Sexual Abuse

UCLA's Chancellor Block has made public a report that went to the Regents concerning sexual abuse of patients at UCLA Health and at student health. The report was triggered by complaints against a physician at UCLA Health that attracted substantial external attention.

However, similar stories about other physicians are included in the report that received less attention. One issue that the report only implicitly raises is managerial control of the widespread UCLA Health "enterprise." Over the years, UCLA has acquired various practices and facilities in the LA area that then operate with the UCLA "brand" and benefit from it. Personnel at all levels are part of the enterprise, some of whom were acquired rather than hired by UCLA. Can UCLA effectively maintain quality control, given its sprawling operation? So apart from the specifics of dealing with sexual abuse, the larger issue remains.
