• Institute for Healthcare Improvement: Across The Chasm: Six Aims For Changing The Health Care System

From the Article:

“Not only is the current health care system lagging behind the ideal in large and numerous ways, but the system is fundamentally and incurably unable to reach the ideal.

I appreciate this article being posted in the hall of Palomar Hospital’s Interventional Radiology Department @palomarhealth; Publicly acknowledgment of a gap, or chasm, and a clearly stated vision, are great first steps toward system improvements. 

As always, for me, the personal is the professional, and the professional is the personal; Thanks for working to get better, and for taking good care of my Mom in the process ❤️
