Big f*cking whoopee. The standards say nothing about 30-day deaths or 100% recovery so as such are useless for survivors.

Excellence would be reducing 30-day deaths every month and increasing the number getting to 100% recovery. No one gives a shit about procedures, You measure results. Hasn't anyone taken any Business 101 courses?

That's really scary, seriously. I used to live there and that hospital system is terrible.
