disagree  liz askew: How can you put a "5" with such poor English? It would be "to allow for the provision of optimal care to patients"..//Perhaps you had too many festive drinks ;)
1 hr
  -> The "5" was an unintended glitch. Sorry for that, and you are SO right. I stand corrected and duly rebuked. Best Season's Greetings!!!
