On the Cover
Your surgeons need to be satis-
fied and your staff needs to be
appreciated, but it's your
patients who need to be valued.
Patient-centered care is a
catchy concept, but it's also an
important movement that's
impacting facility reimburse-
ments and reputations. Luckily,
it doesn't take much to ensure
your patients are more than
satisfied with the care they
receive: Put their needs first
and everything else will fall
into place.
