AHA blog highlights how Paragon report gets hospitals wrong
The AHA April 23 released a blog responding to a report issued April 22 by Paragon Health Institute. The blog highlights how the report relies on a long list of distorted and debunked arguments. “Many of their recommendations would lead to reduced or closed hospital services, decreased access to care, and poorer health outcomes for patients and communities,” the AHA writes.
