Transparency is Hard When the News Isn’t Good

Hospitals have been embracing transparency initiatives over the past few years, but those who have been most enthusiastic generally have a good quality story to tell.  What happens if you don’t have that stellar story?  What if, truth be told, the story is flat-out bad.

In that case, transparency takes some serious nerve.

And with that in mind, I got a great laugh out of this “article” on hospital transparency.

If more organizations could be this blunt about their issues, I think we’d quickly raise the bar on quality issues overall.


Ficticious ad takes transparency into uncharted territory.
