Our Board led this charge, feeling that they had an obligation to the community to establish audacious goals for safety, quality, and patient satisfaction. Holding ourselves publicly accountable is an important and necessary component. By the way, the fact that the Board at BID~Needham did the same thing for that small community hospital is especially noteworty. Many thanks, Delores.

We are excited about the potential of our new alterative contract, and about the work Paul and his team are doing at BID. I know that we all can agree that the status quo is unacceptable and that public discussion about how to improve health care will only make it better. Thanks, Dolores.
