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.

What do you think?
