Other Common Principle Academic Literature “A hospital patient's medical chart is a write only memory. Its purpose is for CYA, billing and legal purposes. No one wants to read it, especially the interns. They carry around 3 by 5 cards so they don't have to open the chart. The first question in a medical conference is usually about the data, when did such and such happen, not about the care." – Notes from Edward Tufte Seminar, David Stacks, August 17, 1999 Read More >> “As in every field, health care providers that concentrate their effort and learn from experience in addressing a medical condition usually deliver the most value and innovate the most rapidly.” - Redefining Healthcare, Michael E. Porter, 2006 Read More >> “Demanding Medical Excellence [Michael L. Millenson] points to a trend toward building databases that show how a particular treatment affects a patient's outcome in the real world — that is, toward using outcomes management that estimates the relation between medical interventions and health outcomes, as well as the relation between health outcomes and costs.” - “Lab Coats Plus Laptops Can Equal Better Medical Care” Read More >> |
E.A. Codman’s “The End Results Idea, which was merely the common-sense notion that every hospital should follow every patient it treats, long enough to determine whether or not the treatment has been successful, and then to inquire "if not, why not?" with a view to preventing similar failures in future." - The Shoulder, E.A. Codman, 1934
