PULLING BACK THE CURTAINTelling stories: advocacy
MEDICAL SECRETSMake a commitment to find out or tell-Get Curious!
1. WHY DO PATIENTS WAIT SO LONG?
2. HOW MUCH IS THIS GOING TO COST?
2. HOW MUCH IS THIS GOING TO COST?Neel Shah is hereMCR data
2. HOW MUCH IS THIS GOING TO COST?
3. WHO DO I WORK FOR?The patient, right?It’s not always clear—dual and triple loyalties when you work for others…..Easy examples—utilization reviewHard examples-I’m in a department and my chairman tells me to refer to my own neurologist or surgeon when it’s less convenient for a patient
4. HOW WILL I MAKE AN IMPACT?Those of you in this room are not just going to be punching the clock. What is your passion? What will you do to make a difference?
5. HOW DO I DO THE RIGHT THING?
6. WHAT DO I DO WITH ERRORS?
7. WHAT AM I AFTER?Prestige/power, possessions ($), or purpose?I was asked to become CQO—it aligned with my goal of leadership, but not my passion/purpose—it’s really hard, and not my strong suit.
8. WILL I STAY TRUE TO MYSELF?Your identity has been subsumed into your profession. It becomes too easy to view people as constellations of disease, diagnoses, drugs….Why did you go into medicine? What gives you meaning? How can you avoid the pitfall of cynicism when it’s in the air around us?
9. AM I OF THE SYSTEM OR OUTSIDE OF IT?We are all most definitely OF, but are we toe holding in the other world?
10. ARE YOU AN INDIVIDUAL OR A HOME?
