Mark Weiss: Should health care administrators be personally liable for misconduct?

The following idea really struck a chord with me: The problem:  We all want accountability in healthcare. Physicians and other providers face the ultimate accountability: they are personally liable for their professional negligence. They cannot hide behind a corporate shield – that’s been the law, well, forever. But hospital and other healthcare executives are not personally liable for the misconduct that they, personally, whether by omission or commission, engage in.The fix: Extend personal liability based on negligence standards to all administrators with direct or indirect control over any healthcare related decision. The lack of skin in the game is what leads to many careless decisions. via Reforming Healthcare Reform » Wisdom. Applied..
