| Change |
Last Thursday was Thanksgiving. I am sure many of you, like me,
see change as you meet with family and friends. That change could have been as
simple as a nephew growing 2 inches and gaining 20 pounds or as harsh as
hearing about a classmate from High School who passed away. Change is with us
always, whether we like it or not.
Last week we featured some stories that dealt with change. Such as a
hospital in West Bloomfield,
Michigan that was changing the
environment of what a hospital should or could be and the change that is going on with
the reprocessing of scopes. Also, two weeks ago AAMI met in Washington D.C.
and we know changes of some type will
result from those meetings.
We all know that things will always change. We understand
that, many times, we do not have a choice about the change, but, we do have a
choice when it comes to how we react to or handle that change. We can let the change manage us or we can
manage the change. We do have a choice.
Working in healthcare, we all know that change is just "part
of the job". New products, new procedures, new "bugs", we all work in a very
dynamic changing environment. One thing I have learned when it comes to change is the
more I involve the people affected by the change and communicate to them
properly, the better the change is accepted.
Change is not easy, but if we work together as a team it can
be easier. Hopefully some of these stories will help you deal (and give
you ideas on how to handle change) with the change taking place in your work
place. With good planning, commitment and communication you will
be able to make the change necessary.
