The Hidden Patient cannot speak out... here's why: "An estimated 98,000 preventable deaths occur in American hospitals each year due to medical errors.
With no significant improvement
over the last five years, we may
have lost an additional 490,000 Americans due to our failure to improve patient safety
."

"Hardy didn't just raise the bar... He raised the poles that hold the bar because the highest notch wasn't high enough for [our hospital]... His "No Hidden Patient"© concept is so right I don't know why it isn't generally practiced nationwide..."
CEO, Multi-hospital system


"...Due to the radical new way Jeff Hardy's Patient Administration Program required us to streamline how we took care of our patients and clinical nursing staff, our parent corporation allowed me to build a brand new, $60 million medical center around the concept...that subsequently proved annual savings of $2.5 million..." CEO 200-bed hospital
