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.
