As many of our readers know, I’m usually not short on words, but this posting is very direct and few words are needed. We spend a great deal of time discussing ways to make our healthcare system better in the States and this is an absolutely essential discussion that needs to occur, and it will continue. However, I do want to take a step back, prompted (I’m sure) by a recent hospital stay in November and other recent activities. Medicine is so amazing and our society is able to do so much to improve the health of individuals. The progress made over the past few decades (and centuries, for that matter) is remarkable and our possibilities to improve are endless. The ability to affect the lives of individuals, whether you are a front-line caregiver, physician, administrator, office worker, etc. is a rewarding and awesome responsibility. I’m so proud to be a part of this industry and to be an active contributor to these efforts.
So, with that brief pause and reflection on our industry, I look forward to our future discussions, collaboration and solutions to, as Tony puts it, make “our hospitals the best run organizations on the face of the planet” and improve the delivery of healthcare!
