According to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons ,half of what an orthopedic surgeon’s practice is geared towards are non-surgical, and the other half surgical management.

This visual picture encourages staff to make and exceed the benchmark standards. Currently, 98% of patient with community acquired pneumonia at St. Agnes receive their initial dose of antibiotic within four hours. This drive improves patient care and patient outcomes.

Sonography is commonly associated with obstetrics and the use of ultrasound imaging during pregnancy, but this technology has many other applications in the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions throughout the body (http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos273.htm). Most sonographers are employed in health care facilities, some travel to different health care facilities or the homes of disabled patients. Sonographers are needed these days and that is why employment for them is expected to increase by 2018 by 18 percent (http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos273.htm). A 2005 Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonography (SDMS) Sonographers Salary and Benefits Survey found that the median salary figure for
