Following the Patient
Every year, more than 35 million patients walk through the doors of hospitals and clinics with questions about their health and about their care. Questions range from medication dosing to treatment expectations to paying the bill. Every question is equally important to patients, and to those who love them. At the DCRI, finding answers to those questions is a commitment we’re making through our Health Services Research efforts. Because a significant part of improving outcomes is improving what patients know.
