AB Few  topics  stir  emotions  to  the  extent  that  healthcare  does.  The  mention  of  the  topic  often  elicits  strong  feelings  and  opinions  about  costs,  quality,  access,  and  a  host  of  other  issues.  Healthcare  touches  everyone,  and  it  represents  one  of  the  largest  expenditures  in  almost  any  economy,  particularly  in  the  United  States.  The  cost  to  provide  healthcare  is  growing  much  faster  than  the  cost  of  other  goods  and  services.  Although  the  quality  of  healthcare  has  improved,  safety  and  consistent  quality  outcomes  still  remain  a  concern.  Access  to  quality  healthcare  is  still  an  issue  (particularly  for  those  individuals  who  cannot  afford  it),  as  is  the  patient  experience,  which  is  rarely  addressed  appropriately.
