Don Berwick, MD former acting head of the Centers

for Medicare & Medicaid Services says that

America’s hospitals face some terrible monsters. He

told some 1,400 executives assembled for the American

Hospital Associations Leadership Summit that “We’re scared of

the truth” and that the industry involves grasping greed,

ignorance, excess, over utilization, and waste. He

made it clear that hospitals needed to distinguish between profit

and greed. Thirty years ago , we didn’t know patient safety was

a problem, now we know it has been happening right under

our noses. What do we do now is the question? Many

organizations have begun using strategies to promote

care. Beth Boynton, RN helps many health

professionals with a strategy called Medical

Improv. What is it and how can it help us? Tune in to

see how this can help those terrible monsters in

America’s hospitals.
