Transparency in Healthcare | www.hospitalimpact.org
Patients requiring health care today demand quality. Quality from their physician, their diagnostic services, and the insurance companies.CMS already mandates certain levels of quality and hospitals. They assure these quality levels by doing spot inspections, and also contracting with the joint commission, which mandates certain levels of care in order to get paid by CMS. Most patients desire to trust the physicians and hospitals that they choose for their care. Many patients when asked will say that they do not know the reason they are having a certain test or procedure only that the physician has requested it be performed. Often they simply want to trust the physician to care for them in the appropriate manner. people requiring health care would like to have transparency in pricing. It would be great for patients to understand the cost of their health care, and the actual reimbursement.
