Award vs Reality: The Truth About Ranking
Every hospital seems to be claiming first place in the FMoH national quality competition… and some of them are the exact places having terrible patient care.
A few years back, when I was working at a hospital, the FMoH evaluators were coming. Staff rushed to the card room, pulled out every chart, and started changing things to look perfect on paper. Then I saw that hospital being announced as 1st place on national TV and I just thought, “Wait… what?!”
The truth is, these rankings often reflect paperwork and appearances more than what patients actually experience.
