Newest entry: Press Ganey announcing, with a straight face, that a "serious harm" event hurts patient satisfaction. Which, of course, is linked to compensation by Medicare. <br /><br />Of course, before you run out to call a Press Ganey patient safety consultant, a more thorough analysis is needed. For instance, if a patient is killed by an error, does the family still get a CAHPS survey? How serious is "serious" harm, anyway? <br /><br />No reason to go too quickly. (sigh)<br /><br />See my still relevant blog post from December, 2010: Why we still kill patients: "Invisibility, inertia and income." http://healthaffairs.org/blog/2010/12/06/why-we-still-kill-patients-invisibility-inertia-and-income/Initial Truthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03118768451371607255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-58963101714909974382015-11-04T13:56:20.720-05:002015-11-04T13:56:20.720-05:00Funny but not so funny!

But thank God for those who are trying to make a difference, their efforts are noble and don't go unnoticed or appreciated.

Definitely a place for physician leaders to advocate at goal setting time....!Neville Sarkari MD, FACPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01096155690678788954noreply@blogger.com
