Ever wonder how we can take healthcare back from the number-crunchers?
Or do you find yourself falling into procedural ruts in your practice, whether from an administrative standpoint, or a direct clinical care standpoint?
Often, healthcare providers, clinicians, managers, and practice owners or directors find themselves driven by numbers. Decisions about processes, procedures, or policies become oriented around balancing columns on a spreadsheet. Now, numbers do play a role in the success of a private healthcare practice. However, often times, we fall into the trap of becoming number-centric, rather than people-centric. That’s why I wrote Better Outcomes: A Guide to Humanizing Healthcare.
I was recently able to sit dow with Rhiannon Crispe from The OT Lifestyle Movement Podcast to talk about this very topic, and explore some of the core topics in the book.
