Wow!!! Very informative post. You really did your research on this subject and made sure that you had all of the facts listed.  I really like that fact that Florence Nightingale is receiving credit for kind of starting the whole CQI movement with her documentation procedures.  I also agree that the advancements in technology helped to bring about the age of quality improvement.  You also noted that x-rays and the advancements in pharmaceuticals.  Do you agree that there should be more emphasis on CQI when it comes to pharmaceuticals? Why or why not?

Thanks again for the interesting post.

Very informative post and a lot of good information. I am glad that I live in the world today and not back in the 1800's. It is just amazing to me how much health care has evolved and is still evolving. I do agree with you that technology is an important part of health care and will continue to be so.  I also find it interesting that the WHO has ranked the United States health system as 37th in the world and Germany and the United Kingdom as 25th and 18th. What is the differences between these counties to have such different standings in the world? I personally believe it is because Germany and the United Kingdom focus on preventative care, what are your thoughts? Do you think that with the Affordable Care Act that the United States is heading in the right direction to change the ranking?
