# 202102052045 Foresee problems and prevent it is better then solving them after it happen Tags: [[project_management]] [[Case Management]] Source: [[20200923 Notes from The Prince, Niccolo Machiavelli]] **It is better to foresee problems and prevent it then solving them after it happen. (Thinking about case management, or project management, it is better to foresee problems that could arise in patients' life and prevent it then to solve them when a crisis happen)** "Remember what the doctors tell us about tuberculosis: in its early stages, it's easy to cure and hard to diagnose, but if you don't spot it and treat it, as time goes by it gets easy to diagnosis and hard to cure. So it is with affairs of state. See trouble in advance (but you have to be shrewd) and you can clear it up quickly. Miss it, and by the time it's big enough for everyone to see it will be too late to do anything about it." page 11
