The founding president of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement said, “Most healthcare systems claim to be ‘patient centered. ‘ I’m here to tell you that’s a lie.” Most EMS systems will say they put patients first, and then have schedules that promote fatigue; peer review QA systems that focus on providers, not patients, and measurement systems that inspire fear. During this interactive webinar, we will explore strategies to build and measure systems that are truly patient-centered.
