Many NY hospitals battled the same issue of mortality perspective as you wrote about - facilities with hospice were being penalized in mortality scores for the services they were providing for end-of-life care.
There are only 2 ways to improve actual mortality rates. When there is a process problem (not the case for hospice care) that should be addressed. The other way is to 'get them off the books' (transfer so they are invisible as in the comment by Coughlin above).
According to his copy its endorsed by the AMA, Harvard, Stanford, Johns Hopkins, etc. and is a simple, practical guide how not to get sued. Please post if you know where I can get a copy of what sounds like a very important tool.
My first thought is to offer my condolences to Eric’s whole family, including his sister Veronica who tried so hard to save him and who continues to work in his honor and memory.Thanks for your updates and Good luck in future..
the need for Nursing Registries is growing faster than ever. And with the ever increasing nursing shortage, you have the opportunity to start a successful business with limitless possibilities.
i wonder how the new health care reform will impact this issue. I also want to mention that it appears the recent recession had minimum impact on the health care industy as current organizations are growing and demanding the services of more health care professionals.
This report is not about Web 2.0 as much as it is about how the application can apply to improving care and creating megacommunities of change in health care.
Its been a couple of years since this was first written and I don't think there have been any major developments between health care and social media, although I may be wrong.
Healthcare definitely requires a lot of technology and there is an immense opportunity for private practices. Also, technology helps to save natural resources and conserve energy.
