This would be more believable if they actually listed statistics on 30-day deaths and 100% recovery.
You could meet all these processes and still
have a 100% death rate and be praised for that. Totally wrong thing to
measure.
Ask the hospital administrator for those statistics, this puffery is worthless.
Big Whoopee.
