If you want to have any insight into how complex and horrible the medical system is, then you need to set aside 24 hours and read this.
If you pay someone to create these sorts of manuals, you should be paying someone to read them.....otherwise, who will follow the rules?
The short answer. No One.
That is why President Obama is auditing doctors at an alarmingly higher rate than has occurred in the past. No one is following the rules......even the insurers that make the rules.
How in the world do we expect to fix a system mired in this much red tape?
The Sherpa says: How can the government focus on effectiveness without focusing on the effectiveness of its policies and procedures? They can't. Which is why audits are up this month.
