A new release in the Quality Chasm Series, Priority Areas for National Action recommends a set of 20 priority areas that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and other groups in the public and private sectors should focus on to improve the quality of health care delivered to all Americans. The priority areas selected represent the entire spectrum of health care from preventive care to end of life care. They also touch on all age groups, health care settings and health care providers. Collective action in these areas could help transform the entire health care system. In addition, the report identifies criteria and delineates a process that DHHS may adopt to determine future priority areas.

Exhausting, but a very satisfying read!" ★★★★★ "Ethan Jones has hit another home run with this new series. It's a real barn-burner, a real page turner that is nonstop action from the first page to the very last page. Having met Carrie first as a character in a Justin Hall thriller I had no doubt that in a series of her own that she would be a winner, but the truth is that the first book in the Carrie series even exceeded my highest expectations and I look forward to reading each new volume as they become available. Five stars doesn't do this book justice, I would have liked to give it a solid ten stars. Give me more Carrie!!!!" ★★★★★ "The CIA has botched a drone strike. Then they try to cover it up by trying to kill anyone who can bring evidence to bear against the first. Innocents have been killed.
