But then I realized exactly what he's going to do with them - skim them and forward them to his (marginally effective) VP for Quality, where they will drop into the same black hole I experienced for 20 years. THIS is why it takes 17 years for diffusion of this knowledge - people just plain don't get it. Conversion to a quality and safety person is almost a quasi-religious experience, which most have missed so far. BIDMC doesn't know how lucky they are for their CEO to be enlightened.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
