Openness Policies and Surgical Site Infections


Consider what would happen if every hospital had openness policies instead of a gang of lawyers  waving nondisclosure agreements.  

According to this new report by NBC News  and the Center for Public Integrity, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCrGx4Sq2CQ, openness in the area of surgical site infections is not being aided by many state governments.  The report talks specifically about issues surrounding surgical instruments.

Will better openness policies help reveal a pervasive problem?
