Richard Carmona and Jeremy Hunt Compare UK and US Healthcare to See Where We Can Collaborate

Dr Richard Carmona, Surgeon General of the US, and Jeremy Hunt, Secretary of Health for the UK, discuss some of the continuities and differences between both of the healthcare systems. Hunt emphasizes the idea of "intelligent transparency", which includes peer review, improvement, hospital grading systems, in addition to a new law requiring hospitals to publish how many preventable deaths they believed occurred in their facility each year. Carmona and Hunt agree on protection of physicians who speak openly after a medical error has occurred, the greater cost of mistakes rather than investing initially in patient safety, and the call for mental health and whole-person analysis.
