I disagree. What makes a list a list (and not a group of cool shit) is that the list itself has (probably a lot) more value than the individual items. I'd argue the case that this is very rarely true of Pinterest boards, and Pinterest

Yeah. If your hypothesis is that it might be lower when the payer and provider are effectively the same entity you could also look closely at the VA or Kaiser in the US for comparison. Both have historically had reputations in the past for

Is trading lightly regulated? Terrifying :) Even then I assume it's not hard to arrive at a hard-dollar-ROI story that drove the improvements. Medication errors end up being a bit of a staring contest: Obviously there's the poten

Do you have experience in healthcare? 3% isn't shocking to me, in fact a number of studies of IV med administration have error rates narrowly on either side of 50% and serious error rates in the double digits. This report suggests that
