Teaching hospitals might be hit especially hard because unlike the value-based purchasing and readmissions programs, which levy a penalty on base operating DRG payments, the HAC program's 1% penalty applies to total payments.
Ways to build self-esteem. Having healthy or high self-esteem means that you feel good about yourself and are proud of what you can do. Having high self-esteem can help you to think positively, deal better with stress, and boost your drive to work hard.
How you feel about yourself â your self-worth or your pride in yourself â is called self-esteem. It may be a blow to your self-esteem, for example, to find out you didn't get chosen for the scholarship you applied for. The esteem part of self-esteem comes from the Latin verb aestimare, meaning to value. The self part is self-explanatory, referring to you, yourself. So think of self-esteem as how you value yourself.
