I respectfully disagree.
But, every time I brought quality control to an operation I heard about every one in a thousand exception, and how the statistics did not represent “THEIR” workplace.
As conservatives, we want the government to control expenses and cut down on incompetence. But when they try to DI it you cry.
How would you establish controls to make sure the Medicare taxes you have been paying for fifty years are spent on improved patient outcomes.
You can respectfully disagree, I got no argument there.
But the Government is NOT instituting these ‘quality control’ measures based on any science at all. Nothing they have demanded to ‘meet standards; is means tested or validated. It is purely economical.
Go research the most recent recommended ‘standards’ re: blood glucose control in peri-op CABG patients, published less than a few months ago...which they promptly and recently threw out as they realized that more patients were being harmed by hospitals trying to comply with their ‘standards’ so the standard was ditched in short order...before any stats were evident or published.
How can you trust an entity that has a HUGE financial interest in the process setting the standards that will determine the payment for that service? Seriously?
