Today I’ll be discussing the importance of solid policies and procedures, including clinical best practices. This is something that has been very popular in the news these past weeks, with the identification of three cases of Ebola here in the US. But it’s also something that I’ve encountered personally the past month or so as my mother had her knees replaced, my brother experienced a cardiac scare, and I’m preparing for a procedure next week.

What have your experiences been from either the patient or provider side with regards to formal processes in the delivery of medical care?
