ICYMI: I talked to the Daily Record recently virtually how we tin do fifty-fifty ameliorate inward U.southward. healthcare. Bеlоw іѕ аn еxсеrрt, but уоu lоt tіn саn rеаd thе tоtаl vеrѕіоn hеrе.

Before Dr. John Chessare took over every chip president together with CEO of Greater Baltimore Medical Center 9 years agone, the infirmary’s board asked him whether GBMC could remain independent at a quaternary dimension when other hospitals across the province together with the country were consolidating.

Chessare told them that it could, but it would require the infirmary to commit to a transformation of how it cared for people, including an increased focus on treating people earlier they ever came to the infirmary.

“My basic premise is the average human beingness on the street inward Baltimore has no idea, has no thought that wellness attention could alive as well as so much improve if we could only redesign attention to get closer to what the patient really needs,” Chessare said. “There’s no doubtfulness (we) make a nifty job inward the infirmary, but we are non doing what we demand to make inwards the management of chronic disease.”
