And this will accomplish exactly what? Where does NJ get off imposing a 100% error free standard on anyone or anything? This is the real world and we’re dealing with human beings who will never be 100% perfect. Even the best medical professionals can make an honest mistake. That’s a simple risk of life. Where would we be if we demanded every medical professional to guarantee a perfect outcome 100% of the time? Without medical professionals I would expect. Nobody would subject themselves to that. The best we can expect is that the medical professional will use all their skill, ability, and judgment in treating us. If there is a “mistake”, it’s a risk we must take.
The Soprano State is hardly the place to foist accountability and publicize screw ups. Let’s have the governor and state legistlature publish their mistakes too. What about personal injury attorneys. Let’s demand the same of insurance companies while we’re at it. Turnaround is fair play.
Shrouding healthcare outcomes in secrecy does not benefit patients nor medical professionals.
A public, standardized system of measurement for healthcare outcomes by facility/provider could allow us to make choices about who we go to in the same way we make choices about cars. For example, I can get on the internet and go to a number of websites that show safety, reliability, performance, and pricing data for almost every model vehicle- why can’t we do that with healthcare? This would also reward the better facilities/providers with more business, as we would chose them over the poorly rated facilities.
Healthcare providers don’t need to be put through the wringer over every mistake- but they do need to have their outcomes evaluated in comparison to others in their field and type of services- something similar to the Experience Mod in Workers Comp- call it the “Outcome Modifier.”
