"ALMOST TWO YEARS ago, my father was killed by a hospital-borne infection in the intensive-care unit of a well-regarded nonprofit hospital in New York City."

Well, the hospital can't make a profit, so they don't really have an incentive to do well....

" How was it possible that Pronovost needed to beg hospitals to adopt an essentially cost-free idea that saved so many lives"

cause they can't make a profit, what do they care?


In a free market, the hospital would make the reforms and then reap the rewards through

1. advertising
2. doing well on 3rd party hospital accreditation, reviews, and consumer reports.
