The question is:
I'm seeing a lot of Hospitals cutting staff as a reaction to
Health Care reform and related lower reimbursements. What do you think ?
"If we can improve the quality of care, that will
translate into lower cost," Anthem President Pam Kehaly said. "These
are real dollars”
Many facilities have had great success, at least with healthcare
associated infections, a major cause of readmissions and deaths, more than likely
just across the street from a poorly performing facility. More staff does no
always equate to higher quality, the knowledge has to be put out there, my wish
and advocacy is for these improvement to flow into our Veteran’s hospitals.
Just getting back into it, the
move down south has been a real challenge and we may well survive. Our kid
finished up her tour with the U.S. Peace Corps and will stay in Africa for another
year to finish up school and work on a Shea project, we will miss her and I include
this stuff for the benefit of all of you U.C. alum working up there in the bay
area. Anyway, she sent this picture a couple of weeks ago and asked me if I
knew this guy?
Now our kid has finished her commitment in the U.S. Peace
corps but she will be staying in Ghana to finish her masters and continue her work
in the shea industry. A little worried we were last year, one of her tasks
under resource conservation was to “organize farmers”, she just sent us this video,
pretty cool!
