by physicians are not based on best practice - about 100,000 people die every year as a result of medical errors (Cortese and Smoldt, 2005). Morath (2003) reported that four
out of five people in this country had either had a personal experience of medical error or they knew someone who had that experience. In 2004, more than 46 million
Americans were either uninsured or underinsured, including 8.3 million children, which means they are not able to access proper and appropriate medical treatment (Pugh, 2007; Cortese and Smoldt, 2005; Sridhar,

by the data cited from Cortese and Smoldt (2005). There have been significant and even spectacular gains made in knowledge and scientific breakthroughs but they are not being used to
improve the health care system in this country (Morath, 2003; Cortese and Smoldt, 2005; Sridhar, 2005). In 2005, the entire health care program in Canada accounted for 10.4 percent of
