HEALING THE SYSTEM IBD

Sinopse

'Well worth the time to read and carefully consider the reality of the problems we face in healthcare. It contains some extremely practical and, indeed, pragmatic approaches to resolving or lessening the dysfunction.' -Lorick Fox, MPAS, PA-C, AACCááAs a healthcare provider, do you feel frustrated and fatigued with an impersonal, administrative-heavy system where you donâÇÖt feel your opinion matters? Do you feel powerless to effect change? YouâÇÖre not alone! Provider burnout is rampant due to bureaucratic overload, long work hours, and the lack of community, respect, and autonomy at work. But these issues can be addressed without significant expense or a major system overhaul. Dr. John McB. HodgsonâÇÖs approach to healthcare change re-empowers healthcare providers to do what they love to do-care for patients, solve problems, and influence the delivery system.áááIn Healing the System, Dr. Hodgson draws on his experience as a seasoned cardiologist to suggest easy-to-implement changes that healthcare providers and administrators can make to combat the increasingly dysfunctional environment typical of current practice. These simple changes can bring a sense of fulfillment, joy, and satisfaction back to the practice of medicine, and the entire system will be energized. HodgsonâÇÖs solutions includeágetting back to missional purpose, rather than focusing solely on the numbers,áempowering teams and community,áencouraging equity in the place where providers practice,áinvolving providers in administrative functions and decision making, andáhonoring one another, no matter the position or the department.áThe message in this book encourages physicians and other healthcare delivery professionals to create an environment and culture in which everyone can thrive.á
