TOPIC

In 2013 the woman was diagnosed with endometrial hyperplasia after the tests ordered by Gayed. The disease is an overgrowth of the uterine lining which is a signal of cancer.

The doctor then performed endometrial ablation. The operations are reportedly negative since it destroys all the uterus layers.

After five years, the woman returned to the hospital and was diagnosed with uterus cancer. According to health reports, it is unprofessional to perform ablation on hyperplasia women. The procedure increases the chances of cancerous cells development which leads to cancer (Davey, 2018).

ASSIGNMENT : "CHALLENGING IN DEVELOPING TOOLS FOR MEASUREMENT"

For performance standards to be useful in improving patient outcomes, appropriate methods and techniques must first be developed. These methods and techniques must accurately address those standards.
