Healing The System

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, AACC As a healthcare provider, do you feel frustrated and fatigued with an impersonal, administrative-heavy system where you don't feel your opinion matters? Do you feel powerless to effect change? You're 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. Hodgson's 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. In 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. Hodgson's solutions include getting back to missional purpose, rather than focusing solely on the numbers; empowering teams and community; encouraging equity in the place where providers practice; involving providers in administrative functions and decision making; and honoring one another, no matter the position or the department. The message in this book encourages physicians and other healthcare delivery professionals to create an environment and culture in which everyone can thrive.
