Imean this is a good time to check the health of your site or setting. As healthcare providers, we揇are dedicated to curing our patients of their ills and keeping them healthy. My question is, oyou have the same attitude about the place you work??Is your site meeting its highest goals? Ifnot, then it is time for a change.

抰I think that as a group healthcare sites are a lot like our patients. Some patients don workhard at keeping healthy. In fact, many engage in behavior that is very detrimental to theirwell-being. You probably can easily image such a person. Maybe they are very overweight.Well, there are many healthcare facilities that are like that. They have many processes in whichthere are steps which add no value, that are a complete waste of time and effort. Then, there arepatients who do a lot of the right things. They eat correctly, get a good amount of exercise, andgenerally have a positive outlook. There are a few healthcare facilities that are fit too.What does a healthcare site in not so good shape look like? These sites, I believe, have as theirgoals just to meet their compliance standards, those set by the state, JHACO, or the FDA orsome other body. As long as they are being accredited, they are satisfied. Their attitude may be,揑 抰 抰f it isn broken, don change it.?They are like patients who are content to just sit on the抰couch, watch TV, and eat whatever they like as long as they don feel poorly.揷What does a healthcare site in good shape look like? I believe that such sites are continuallylooking for ways to better themselves. They engage in ontinuous qualityimprovement?activities. They are really concerned about the health and attitudes of theirpatients and clients. They use surveys and they question and listen. Some even use a tool calledquality function deployment when designing new facilities or programs.Besides listening to patients, they pay close attention to their employees. They actively seekideas from the employees on how things could be done better. They want to have theiremployees enjoy working at their site and support its mission. The leaders of such sites activelyreflect this attitude.Further, such sites seek ways to improve the processes at their site. They cut waste and savetime and improve the bottom line. Many tools for doing this can be found in quality disciplinessuch as Lean Healthcare and Six Sigma. You can find a very good white paper on LeanHealthcare at the http://www.IHI.org website.What are the results of these positive and active approaches? Our patients are happier, fitter,and find time to do the things they want. They generally live longer with fewer health problems.Healthcare sites which are actively engaged in continuous quality improvement programs抰generally find that they have the time to accomplish their objectives and don feel rushed,抰they have an improved bottom line, and they rarely experience adverse events. The doctors don have to work impossible hours to accomplish all they want. They work as a team.Let me encourage you at this time to sit down with your colleagues and leaders and assess thehealth of your site. If you find that you fall short of what you should be, I hope that you put in抰the effort to reach the best goals. After all, we expect the same from our patients, don we?Title:Online Health Care Degree ?Getting It FastWord Count:305

But it is the relationships that are forged between both thestaff and the students that seems to be most surprising to people. Imagine having your socialnetworking not limited to a singular geographic location. Individuals from differing placeshave different personal and historic experiences and as such are able to offer ideas that may bedifficult to be generated by people from other areas.These relationships are facilitated through discussion boards, threaded classroom discussions,抮and many other online methods that allow for real interaction.
