Top hospital patients have a much higher chance of living

Central America News.Net
Tuesday 14th October, 2008

Patients at top hospitals in the US have a 70 percent lower chance of dying compared to the lowest-ranked hospitals.

The 11th annual survey of quality examined 41 million patient records at 5,000 hospitals over three years.

The study found while overall death rates declined from 2005 to 2007, the country's best-performing hospitals were able to reduce their death rates at a much faster rate than poorly performing hospitals, resulting in large state, regional and hospital-to-hospital variations in the quality of patient care.

HealthGrades Hospital Quality in America Study found that if all hospitals performed at the level of five-star rated hospitals, 237,420 deaths could potentially have averted over the three years studied.

More than half of those deaths were associated with four conditions: sepsis, a life-threatening illness caused by systemic response to infection, pneumonia, heart failure and respiratory failure.

Top hospital patients have a much higher chance of living

salaam,
Yeap some do not have night crews to clean up pooh,
so they tracked in it all night long with one toilet over flowing cost cutter value and investment at the same time,
cause pooh does not issue any benefit to the already sickly but could bring more sickly so investment, while cutting cost what a hospital deal.
And even if you write down allergy meds doctors says take the allergy med and question not his intelligence matter 3 times so tossed the script and walked out with a bill of matter sent at a later date.
Some made above testing for drugs of approval.

I place much of the BLAME on bill and hilary

When Clinton sweptinto Our Office of Presidency, he announced health care revisions, that almost all Citizens want! Those that opposed the Plan were the insiders that provide health care! Their exorbinate profits were at stake!

I took the oportunity to advise bill and hilary, on some to the do-able portions of their Plan, and requested they move in a step at a time process, so as to accomplish health improvement immediately and that individual areas could not be defeated or twarted!

One of the suggestions I made was , Povide the Surgeon General with a Nationwide Computer System that would link every medical provideder to the National Data Bank, and , require every diagnois be submitted documented as to the symptions noted, and in return the Surgeon General would send back the latest information on National Incedence, and A list of other possible causes for the medical problem.

The benefits to national health would have been enormous! Plus, Epidemics would be discovered at a much faster rate!

bill and hilary choose 'glory' and failed instead! And Our Nation can only dream about better health, and worry about terrorism.

I blame them for not doing what they could have accomplished!

While I respect my own Abilities because of Accomplishment...

... , I also have an understanding of your failures and have a great deal of disrespect regarding yours!

Such as the lil lying thievery impersonating, garbage names you hide behind, failures of cut and run, all qualities of wanabees and loosers. The lil boy that runs home crying to mama.

Drown in your waders, if your that dumb!

Well like, knowing you, you could have made him cry. Hospital should be encouraged to enroll with Merck and get a real EDGE on things like Staph. ect.

In answer to a reply Sam because we all slip on a little ring and take a vow for some we take two, it requires humble attitudes, elitism is an other form of mental illness that falls into the same catagory as racism, etc...

Back to the hospitals, money motivates so much these days, even cleanliness. The difference of course is long term health issues for the public.

I agree that healthcare should be National at least but there are options available.

No one believes you we all know you to be a liar and full of yourself.
The above but further proves it.
Cut and run is that what happens when you sit to long in the depends before the nurse helps you out of them
Sad how you cry like a baby over so many things that don’t matter!

Galljdaj you should be the president instead of Bill and may be the country will be much better. Since you are so close to the President you should stop bitching and moaning about the country president and what he stand for.Most of the time you are so negative andcalling everybody thieves and liar.

A couple note about Post 6:07 pm

Notice how the poster is capable of direct communication to galljdaj. And refuses to be known, hiding himself from return criticism, it wasn’t me mama approach to community.

Notice how the specific criticisms are “bitching and moaning” for poster. He posts as though unable to destinguish the differences. Especially since in the case of the advice provided to the clintons and results of the clintons decision equated to the 'results'.

Compare my post of 11:09am with the subject post of the unidentified poster and judge who is bitching and moaning, who is positive and who is negative, who is posting truth and who is posting lies.

Who is afraid and who will stand up?

Who would say that the best medical care for all citizens 'possible' is or should be last choice? The clintons chose a plan of health care improvements that was unattainable, and in the end the Citizens Health Care was not made better, ~8 years lost. And ~8 more baren years have followed. My blame of the clintons as partial certainly is not about trying to do better. the blame is clear, the blame is the scope being to much so that opponents could kill the health care improvements. Profits came before the Common Good of the Public. The clintons did not kill the efforts.

People like the lil coward unable to be identified that messianically get behind political agendas rather than choosing the Common Good. Excess profits, and crisis has been the result of his efforts and supports.

You were Clintons right hand man.
Think about the tone of your posts arrogant no everything WITH NOTHING BUT SARCASM negativity and hubris yet the majority of your posts are not well thought out or even well researched.

The topic is not what people are making fun of you about we all know helth care needs work but nationalizing it is not the answer just look at what a mess the government has made of every other program!

Are the lil it wasn't me Errors 'Mistakes' or his hidden agenda?

He says People are laughing, i.e., his messianic intutition! He posts under a hosts of nick name topic make ups, anonymouses, and impersonations. Such is his crowd!

Nothing in my post suggests I was the clintons' man let alone right hand man! I made some advice at the initiation of the plan. That is all! And that is exactly what I said. Our poor lil messianic has a grossly immaginitive interpretation! Soo much so he 'lies'! Posts falsehoods!

If there is sarcasm in my post it is directed at liars thieves and cowardly posts. Very very seldom do I even use sarcasm towards lil bush, and such an expression is anger rather than sarcasm.

The second mistake our lil messianic placed in his post, deals with “Nationalizing Health Care” that he lies posts falsehood, or is plain stupid and cannot comprehend.

I suggested Our National Health under the Surgeon General should be coordinating Our Heath information! With a computer network. Hardly is such a program nationalizing health care! It requires medical providers to do what many other Corporations do. Advise the Government what is going on!

National Health is a Common Good and a responsibility of the Government!

You simply lie!

Hey junior go back to that communist manifesto or Saul Alinskies book I bet you have read both cover to cover.
Regardless of what you think you posted you came off like you made some direct contact with Clinton.
You came off like you thought your were a somebody when the sad reality is you have never done anything in your life but bitch.
End of discussion the rest of your stupid inane post is nonsense.

Of course I made direct contact!

That is exactly what I said!

Your comprehension is zero!

Maybe you don’t lie, just extreme stupidity rocks your world!
