Transparency cuts both ways

October 29, 2008

Boston’s BI-Deaconess Hospital is leading the way in transparency, with unprecedented openness in dealing with medical errors. Hospital CEO Paul Levy regularly blogs about sensitive issues.

The Boston Globe runs a piece about some adversity surrounding their openness, but I agree that over time the hospital will be judged fairly and lauded for their honesty.

Dr. Val and Charlie Baker chime in with their takes.

Transparency is lawyer Trojan Horse for tort gotcha plundering of all productive entities. It is to be resisted to the death.
