How do we measure what matters?
My care was dignified it was professional but it missed the point. I can t help wondering what my health care would be, what it would be like, if it understood the point: that it s not what health care does that matters; it s rather how well health care helps us with our deepest our realest needs. How it touches our souls. Don Berwick, IHI National Forum 2009
