The world. As you may have seen in your own country, or as the slide show indicates, theres a Global Movement toward candidate debates making candidate debates a part of elections in a diverse range of countries. Its at least 65 countries so far. And i suspect the number is higher. Why are more countries organizing debates . I think there are several reasons. Debates provide a unique opportunity to compare candidates. They are generally the only time in a campaign when voters see and hear directly from the candidates, appearing side by side, in the same forum, at the same time. Debates also increase focus on policies in a campaign. In some countries, candidates traditionally campaign on personal attacks or slogans, personality, religion or ethnic loyalties. In contrast to our debate, forces candidates to have more indepth positions on the issues. For example, in jamaica, polling after a 2011 debate showed that 70 of the public was more informed on candidate policy positions because of

Prints and came here to exz spress concern there isnt agreement on the [inaudible] as you heard doctor browner announced they reached ongrument with saint ant in a. I think this week [inaudible] she has been very open with us about the progress. I hope this is good news. I expect it is good news. Saint anteany is a credible provider. There was a meeting in the tender loan erloin who expressed a intres in being able to tell cpmc what thairb preference would be and how to get helt care in the tenderloin and would like to take that theme and apply it to [inaudible] to plan a Community Forum that would describe what the plans for the rebuild of saint luke suz about. I think we had a Honest Exchange and made it clear it is our hope and expectation this isnt just a presentationf, this is a opportunity to talk to people in the community but about the what they need in health care. As we discussed from the folks from cpmc, we have gone a long waythere was a time the hospital inpatient is close
Procedures require longer term patient interaction and follow up to maintain high quality care and this can cause confusion for patients who may not know where to go and requires a lot of Data Exchange between providers in Different Networks that our systems are not set up to exchange at this time. Finally it had to be within cpmc ability to provide. As supervisors may know, position employed in hospitals are largely independent oceans and not employed by the hospital so we need today have the ability to provide the services that we needed directly so diagnoseistics were the perfect choice.
