• 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.
• 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

perform when patients have a sudden cardiac

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

Without being disrespectful, I consider the U.S.

performance measurements and no standards. Trying

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.Source Michael
Millenson, Demanding Medical Excellence
63
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

doesnt do much chronic disease. When the

1. The Importance of Human Interaction
119
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
121
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

126
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
127
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

T.T.D./Healthcare27
166

Healthcare27 1. Fully utilize Physicians
Assistants to do routine work in a timely
fashion. (Doc in a Kiosk at WalMart is
great!) 2. Maximize Outpatient services! 3. Short
hospital stays work! 4. Support home care to the
max. (E.g., Declaration of IndependentsBeacon
Hill/Boston) 5. STOP THE 100K NEEDLESS
DEATHSmuch/most of the quality stuff is
eminently fixable. (Don Berwick for President!
AHA for Hall of Shame!) (Strong, vicious insurer
incentives!!!) 6. FLIP HC 177 DEGREES TO
EMPHASIZE PREVENTION WELLNESS. (Steps are
being taken but not enough. Med schools Awful!
Insurers Little better. Support for
appropriate-proven alternative therapies is an
important part.) (HUGE INCENTIVES FOR EFFECTIVE
WELLNESS-PREVENTION PROGRAMS-MEASURABLE
SUCCESSES.)
167

Healthcare27 7. Boomers will determine HCs
(very different?) future. (They are from a
different demanding planet compared to
yesterdays Oldsters.) 8. Focus on Women. (Its
my genericand correctrallying cry, and it
applies to HC in spades, women-as-patients-with
different-woes-than-men women-as-HC decision
makers at the consumerand commerciallevel.) 9.
Patient/Consumer-driven may be a buzz phrase
bandied about all to easily but it is true.
(And changes the game.) 10. Reduce incentives for
unnecessary tests. (Malpractice caps would help,
though the issue is complex. Insurers-HMOs doing
so-so on this.) 11. OUTCOME-BASED MEDICINE IS A
MUST! (There is a long, long way to go!) (Measure
until youre blue in the face!) 12. Science-based
medicine is a terrific idea!! (Many therapies
unproven scientifically, uneven in application
when proven.)
168

Healthcare27 13. Over the next 5-25 years, the
Life Sciences Revolution will make the likes of
the info revolution look like small beer. (Get
ready.) 14. Radical increase in best practices
utilizationinculcate in Med school! 15. Med
school revolution imperativeoutcome-based
medicine, abiding emphasis on Wellness
Prevention, etc. 16. Get info to Patients! (HIPAA
mostly good.I wanna see my records!) (Detailed
hospital-by-hospital, disease-by-disease,
doc-by-doc success records a must despite
controversy.) 17. Upgrade IS-IT in the entire
system, starting with acute-care institutions.
(Current grade D-.) (Winners include Indiana
Heart Hospital Inova Fairfax Heart
Institute.) 18. Healtheon WebMD-like (if it had
worked) mega-, integrated-info network
will-should emerge. (A healthcare Google?)
169

Healthcare27 19. MOVE HEAVEN EARTH TO
IMPLEMENT ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS. NOW. 20.
By hook or by crook, something approximating
basic universal care, starting with kids50 state
partial experiments is a help some are quite far
along. (Market-based as much as possiblebut
this is far from a perfect market.) 21. Deal
with the enormous HMO I want my doc perception
problem. (Fact MARCUS WELBY, STATISTICALLY,
AINT THAT GREAT A HEALER IN TODAYS HIGH
SCIENCE WORLD! Incidentally, same perception
problem re Congress, schools. My Congressman is
great, Congress has 434 other crook-clowns. My
kids school is good, the system is awful.) 22.
Blitzkrieg of Patient/Customer/Citizen education
(eg re outcomes-based HC Get the most for
your HC dollar). (Corporate cuts should motivate
this.) 23. Healing-centric care supported.
(E.g., Planetree modelreduces future problems.)
170
Healthcare27 24. Emphasize front-to-back
customer care practicescuts waaaaay down on
malpractice claims among other things. 25.
Specialization in acute care works wonders,
regardless of howls! (E.g., Shouldice/hernia
repair.) 26.Shorten the FDA approval process.
(Tom, age 63, wants the good new stuff and will
accept associated risk so will most
boomers-geezers.) 27.DONT MESS AROUND WITH

over and over, again and again. We do the same

were already on prototype version No. 5. By the
