“Everybody recognizes that transparency is an American virtue. It’s a value that makes sense and it’s something we demand of every other industry...In other industries there are good metrics of performance. In healthcare we now believe we need better metrics for performance otherwise by and large people are walking in blind to our system where they know there is some very good care but they’re also a little concerned that the care can be substandard.”
