Intro section introducing the question

Below is a portion of the intro where we ask the question. Please post comments at your leisure.

B. Our question. Based on these statistics from multiple resources on patient and hospital employee satisfaction and performance, we sought to determine possible causes of poor performance of US hospitals. We, as a group of Indiana University medical students enrolled in the course “Leadership in Medicine,” sought to establish whether management of hospitals correlated with patient and employee satisfaction and better performance. We specifically examined the backgrounds of current CEOs and asked whether hospitals with better measures of satisfaction and outcomes could be linked to CEOs with formal medical training.
