In addition, their patients "have shorter hospital stays, receive the known, current standards of care more reliably, are exposed to fewer hospital infections and errors, and fewer die," he writes. Seltzer concludes, "Someone has to use this knowledge to fix a system that has become increasingly unaffordable, unsafe, inaccessible and inequitable," adding, "It may be the calloused hands of American workers that become the healing hands for American health care" (Seltzer, Detroit Free Press, 11/21).
