killing fields. (WE KNOW WHAT TO DO.)(2)
Shift the community focus 90 degrees (not
180, but not 25) from fix it to prevent
it. (WE KNOW WHAT TO DO.)(3) There are three
primary aims for all this

  Toms Rant2006
• Hospital quality control, at least in the
  U.S.A., is a bad, bad joke Depending on whose
  stats you believe, hospitals kill 100,000 or so
  of us a yearand wound many times that number.
  Finally, they are getting around to dealing
  with the issue. Well, thanks. And what is it
  weve been buying for our Trillion or so bucks a
  year? The fix is eminently do-able which makes
  the condition even more intolerable. (Disgrace
  is far too kind a label for the condition.
  Whos to blame? Just about everybody, starting
  with the docs who consider oversight from anyone
  other than fellow clan members to be
  unacceptable.)
• 2. The systemtraining, docs, insurance
  incentives, culture, patients themselvesis
  hopelessly-mindlessly-insanely (as I see it)
  skewed toward fixing things (e.g. me) that are
  brokennot preventing the problem in the first
  place and providing the Maintenance Tools
  necessary for a healthy lifestyle. Sure,
  bio-medicine will soon allow us to understand and
  deal with individual genetic pre-dispositions.
  (And hooray!) But take it from this 63-year old,
  decades of physical and psychological self-abuse
  can literally be reversed in relatively short
  order by an encompassing approach to life that
  can only be described as a Passion for Wellness
  (and Well-being). Patientslike meare catching
  on in record numbers but the system is highly
  resistant. (Again, the doctors are among the
  biggest sinnersno surprise, following years of
  acculturation as the man-with-the-white-coat-who-
  will-now-miraculously-dispense-fix
  it-pills-and-surgical-incisions-for-you-the-unwash
  ed. (Come to think of it, maybe Ill start
  wearing a White Coat to my doctors officeafter
  all, I am the Professional-in-Charge when it
  comes to my Body Soul. Right?)

error. In one small study of how clinicians
perform when patients have a sudden cardiac
arrest, 27 of 30 clinicians made an error in

administering drugs (1995 study) average once

Geography Is DestinyOften all one must do to
acquire a disease is to enter a country where a
disease is recognizedleaving the country will
either cure the malady or turn it into something
else. Blood pressure considered treatably high
in the United States might be considered normal
in England and the low blood pressure treated
with 85 drugs as well as hydrotherapy and spa
treatments in Germany would entitle its sufferer
to lower life insurance rates in the United
States. Lynn Payer, Medicine Culture

A healthcare delivery system characterized by
idiosyncratic and often ill-informed judgments
must be restructured according to evidence-based
medical practice.Demanding Medical Excellence
Doctors and Accountability in the Information
Age, Michael Millenson
24
Without being disrespectful, I consider the U.S.
healthcare delivery system the largest cottage
industry in the world. There are virtually no
performance measurements and no standards. Trying
to measure performance is the next revolution
in healthcare.Richard Huber, former CEO, Aetna
25
Practice variation is not caused by bad or
ignorant doctors. Rather, it is a natural
consequence of a system that systematically
tracks neither its processes nor its outcomes,
preferring to presume that good facilities, good
intentions and good training lead automatically
to good results. Providers remain more
comfortable with the habits of a guild, where
each craftsman trusts his fellows, than with the
demands of the information age.Michael
Millenson, Demanding Medical Excellence
26
As unsettling as the prevalence of inappropriate
care is the enormous amount of what can only be
called ignorant care. A surprising 85 of
everyday medical treatments have never been
scientifically validated. For instance, when
family practitioners in Washington State were
queried about treating a simple urinary tract
infection, 82 physicians came up with an
extraordinary 137 strategies.Demanding Medical
Excellence Doctors and Accountability in the
Information Age, Michael Millenson

Most physicians believe that diagnosis cant be
reduced to a set of generalizationsto a

me astray? The radical implication of the Swedish
study is that the individualized, intuitive
approach that lies at the center of modern
medicine is flawedit causes more mistakes than
it prevents. Atul Gawande, Complications

Our entire facility is digital. No paper, no

integratedfrom the lab to X-ray to records to
physician order entry. Patients dont have to
wait for anything. The information from the
physicians office is in registration and vice
versa. The referring physician is immediately
sent an email telling him his patient has shown
up. Its wireless in-house. We have 800
notebook computers that are wireless. Physicians
can walk around with a computer thats
pre-programmed. If the physician wants, well go
out and wire their house so they can sit on the
couch and connect to the network. They can review

Gwen has wonderful health insurance and an
abundance of healthcare. What Gwen does not have
is health. And there is nothing our health system
can do to give it to her. The battle cry is
always health, but in fact the struggle has
always been over healthcare. For all its
inspiring, high-tech cures, medicine is just not
very effective at curing our eras major
killers. Medicine doesnt do much for chronic
disease. When the most common killers of our
era are mostly incurable and our preventive
treatments pretty feeble, you have to wonder
about medical care as a whole. There is a
widely held view that medical care contributes
little to health. (John Bunker/Journal of the

1. The Importance of Human Interaction
75
There is a misconception that supportive
interactions require more staff or more time and
are therefore more costly. Although labor costs
are a substantial part of any hospital budget,
the interactions themselves add nothing to the
budget. Kindness is free. Listening to patients
or answering their questions costs nothing. It
can be argued that negative interactionsalienatin
g patients, being non-responsive to their needs
or limiting their sense of controlcan be very
costly. Angry, frustrated or frightened
patients may be combative, withdrawn and less
cooperativerequiring far more time than it would
have taken to interact with them initially in a
positive way. Putting Patients First, Susan
Frampton, Laura Gilpin, Patrick Charmel

Patients First, Susan Frampton, Laura Gilpin,
Patrick Charmel
77
Perhaps the simplest and most profound of all
human interactions is KINDNESS. But if it is so
simple, it is surprising how frequently it is
absent from our healthcare environments. Many
staff members report verbal abuse by
physicians, managers and coworkers. Putting

82
When hospital staff members are asked to list
the attributes of the perfect patient and
family, their response is usually a passive
patient with no family. Putting Patients First,
Susan Frampton, Laura Gilpin, Patrick Charmel
83
The Patient-Family ExperiencePatients are
stripped of control, their clothes are taken
away, they have little say over their schedule,
and they are deliberately separated from their
family and friends. Healthcare professionals
control all of the information about their
patients bodies and access to the people who can
answer questions and connect them with helpful
resources. Families are treated more as intruders
than loved ones. Putting Patients First, Susan
Frampton, Laura Gilpin, Patrick Charmel
