Measuring Quality
Healthcare professionals have to undergo an extremely tricky process when assessing patients to ensure they have an accurate road to recovery.

When a heath care professional knows more about the individual he or she is treating, he or she will be able to make the best medical decisions. Knowing more about patients will help them recover such as by determining an appropriate length a patient should endure physical therapy.

Moreover, when a person is depressed, he or she usually does not have any motivation towards making a positive difference in life. One may feel like he or she is in an everlasting rut that cannot seem to be ended. For instance, when a senior undergoes a hip replacement with a negative attitude, he or she is more apt to just lie in bed, instead of trying to walk around to speed up their recovery. Coincidentally, when a healthcare professional notices that a patient does not have the will to live or the positive motivation to recovery he or she will begin to realize that the outcome is at greater distances away. It is imperative, for healthcare professionals, to attempt to turn their frown upside down; they need to give patients a better outlook on life. This will ultimately accelerate the recovery process or, in some cases, ensure a recovery.
