Right, so re VoC. The value-based care aspect of quality is that you as physician and your patient are a team, and you will jointly agree health outcomes that are to be the measure of care quality. High quality = meeting pt health goals Low quality = not meeting them

Yes! and 3. You assessed the pt as not needing opioids, they became dysregulated later at home due to pain, and suicided We could have a really long discussion here on whether a bad outcome is necessarily a medical error, but that maybe distracts from more likely error modes /2

For example - pt got the wrong medication - wrong concentration - wrong dose - wrong frequency - drug-drug interaction There are a lot of near misses, and far too many injuries or deaths from preventable errors

No one would deny those are preventable errors. I just don’t think 20% of Americans die because they were given the wrong med in the hospital. Or the wrong patient was operated on.

and you think denouncing Makary but having no replacement makes that any better?

One need not have a better number to criticize someone elses.

More specifically, one need not have published one's own numbers to criticize poorly dine estimates and point to better estimates on the literature.

You say that because you don't have anything to publish. There is a surplus of armchair critics. We need people who improve things, not stand on the sidelines offering empty punditry
