Synopsis
Excerpt from A Study in Hospital Efficiency: As Demonstrated by the Case Report of the First Five Years of a Private Hospital
The superintendent would lose his position, if he undertook to insist on good results. It is already more than he can do to listen to the wails of lack of economy, lack of politeness, lack of common sense with which the trustees, staff, and patients deafen him.
Therefore, if the trustees, the staff, and the superintendent all avoid the analysis of results, and it is only for the interest of the patients, the public, and medical science, - why bother about it?
The truth is, the patients and the public do not yet understand the problem. They suppose that of course somebody is looking Into this important matter. They do not realize that the responsibility is not fixed upon any person or department.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the groundbreaking concept of the "End Result System" in early 20th-century healthcare. The author, a surgeon, passionately argues for a system of accountability and analysis within hospitals, where patient outcomes are meticulously tracked and evaluated. This revolutionary approach challenges the prevailing norms of medical practice, where prestige and reputation often overshadowed the actual effectiveness of treatments. The narrative unfolds through a series of detailed case reports, each meticulously documented with the patient's condition, diagnosis, treatment, and long-term results. These accounts serve as both a testament to the author's surgical skill and a stark illustration of the need for a standardized system of evaluation. The author's incisive critiques of the medical establishment expose the reluctance of hospitals and physicians to embrace transparency and accountability, highlighting the potential consequences for patient well-being. The book's exploration of medical ethics, the role of hospitals in society, and the nascent field of outcomes research offers a thought-provoking glimpse into a pivotal period in medical history. The author's visionary call for a patient-centric approach to healthcare, where success is measured by the "end result" of treatment, continues to resonate in the present day, making this book a timeless and essential read for anyone interested in the evolution of modern medicine. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
