Introduction:

www.PatientCareTools.Com: Home/About provides the background of WLN & Associates. The development of the The Fit System occurred to simplify categorization of the literally thousands of topics and activities occurring within hospitals and/or other patient care provider organizations.

Hospitals and other health care providers are the nation’s largest employers at around 20 million individuals – the vast majority providing direct patient care services. Direct interviews have revealed that a significant portion of patient care staff have a high interest in improving given tasks and some are actively involved in making such changes. Many also visit the web especially to learn more about adverse/sentinel

events as well as constructive behavioral changing activities.

Additionally, hardly a day goes by without the announcements such as mergers, closure of facilities/services, or the opposite, the tragedy of a community facing the loss of health care provider services.

As the goal of this website’s Trademark [tm] indicates, it is to find/offer Knowledge in the areas of Safety, Quality, and Cost for individuals identifying problems and seeking solutions.
