Description
Hospitals have long been the technological and cultural centers of American healthcare. Certainly, when compared to other countries, American hospitals are unsurpassed at providing care for many diseases and disabilities, especially life-threatening, acute episodes. The crowning achievement of U.S. hospitals is their excellence in the advanced modes of diagnosis, treatments, and operations that have saved many lives--ones that would have been lost in earlier times. Modern hospitals are typically large organizations or members of corporations, with a management that is focused on efficiency, productivity, and profit. A "high tech" workplace, overseen with a corporate, business centered concept of management are key elements in the culture of today's hospitals. Such a culture is not necessarily deficient or dysfunctional, unless it has supplanted and eliminated the value or ethos of humanistic, compassionate care. In that event, high proportions of patients will experience neglect, be ignored, and not feel respected or satisfied during their visit.
