Important topics in Healthcare:
                          What is essential in healthcare today? 
                          
                          Our nation supplies some of the best 
                            health care in the world, yet critics are saying that 
                            our health care is at risk. Why would we believe that 
                            our health care is at risk if our health care is the 
                            envy of most nations? 
                           If the patient and their family’s 
                            perception of the quality of the received medical 
                            care is not at the desired level, this perception 
                            of poor quality can drive law suits against the healthcare 
                            provider. This increases the cost of health care and 
                            can cause a greater perception of poor value. This 
                            cycle continues until the quality perception is improved. 
                          
                          Quality Improvement starts with the 
                            perception of the patient. Our focus is on providing 
                            essential feedback from health care stakeholders (patients, 
                            patient’s family, employers, community leaders, 
                            etc.) to help health care executives make essential 
                            decisions to improve the quality of care.
