Zero Tolerance for Gaps in Healthcare
November 5, 2021 12:00 PM-1:00 PM
In May 2016, a study from John Hopkins revealed that about 250,000 deaths in the United States were due to medical errors – this makes Medical Errors the 3rd leading cause of death in the US, after heart disease and cancer.
On the other hand; our per capita healthcare cost is approximately $8,713. At a total spend of $3 trillion, or 18 percent of the national economy; the US healthcare is the most expensive system in the world yet failing us when it comes to the best quality outcomes.
Where is the disconnect? We do not lack resources, we have the best surgical procedures in the world, the best medications money can buy, worlds best imaging techniques, etc., yet why do we fail our citizens in providing the best quality of care?
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:
1. Gain an insight into how hospitals are organized and how their work processes are designed and controlled
2. Working knowledge of the critical decision-making process
3. Identify over 80% of gaps in care
