National Healthcare Decisions Day

National Healthcare Decision Day is an American holiday that celebrates the decisions of health care professionals. The health care system is dedicated to keeping people healthy. You can go to a facility in your community or any other place to get the care you need. Health care professionals make critical decisions that often affect the lives and health of patients. It is celebrated each year on April 16.

History

The history of National Healthcare Decision Day begins in 2008, when the holiday was established by a man named N. Kottkamp, who worked as a lawyer in Virginia. He decided to create the day so that people would learn more about how decisions are made in health care settings.

The holiday tells not only about the decisions doctors make: the choice of medication, therapeutic method, what to prescribe, and so on. Facility management is in constant contact with suppliers of drugs and medical equipment; the right decisions need to be made so that clinics are supplied with everything they need on an ongoing basis.

Interesting facts
