Objectives:
Zero Tolerance in Gaps for Healthcare for Physicians
For years we have focused on standard of care that is what we have been taught from medical school to residency to clinical practice. This has been the wrong focus for years we have never focused on what really matters. We need to redirect the entire healthcare industry’s energy from managing numbers to managing the pathophysiology. How can we restructure our thinking to treat the root cause and the pathophysiology at the grassroots and remove our focus from managing better numbers for your diabetics, our hypertensive, and for hyperlipidemia? As these numbers reach their norm as clinicians there is an innate desire to stop our management however this is the very thing that is wrong with the current system. This is when we need to act this is the right time to evaluate the root cause of the disease and manage it at that level Where is the disconnect? We do not lack resources, we have the best surgical procedures in the world, the best medications money can buy, the world’s best imaging techniques, etc., yet why do we fail our citizens in providing the best quality of care?
