No healthcare organization today can be complacent about clinical, operational, or financial performance. Report after report highlights the need to improve patient care to reduce the number of preventable system and process failures. In addition, slimming margins threaten most organization's financial competitiveness and operational viability.

But more importantly, patients expect and deserve the best medical knowledge and experience available.
