If Patients Aren't Happy--Health Care Workers Aren't Happy Either


In today's news health advocates are becoming very popular. There are different groups that help patients make sense of their EOB's find affordable medicines and feel as if they are listened to by their health care team.

Apparently there is a problem and patients don't know how to resolve their issues without the help of a third party. It sounds like a good approach since every facet of health care is so specialized and time is at a premium. Even health care workers feel overwhelmed especially when they know their patients and residents deserve to feel confident about their treatment plans and paying for care.

If patients need a health care coach, it seems as if health care workers do, too. They want to provide great service, but they can't be with one patient 24 hours a day. When a nurse, doctor, aide, or therapist leaves a patent's room, they are crossing their fingers hoping the next health care worker doesn't drop the ball.

Yet, it happens. And we all take the blame. How do we keep everyone on the same page?
We make health care worker wellness a priority.
