I am an e-patient, a caregiver, a nurse, an informaticist, and a leader. I live and work where the patient, the caregiver, the clinician, and technology intersect. Writing this blog for the past six months has helped me focus on magic levers of best health. The magic levers of best personal health include: Rest, diet, exercise, resilience, network, team, trust, mindfulness. The magic levers of best organizational health: leadership, purpose, alignment, trust, vulnerability, mindfulness, learning, execution. How about system magic levers of best health? Here’s my first stab at that:
- Mutual goals and plans set by the health team (people, their caregivers and clinicians)
- Tools and relationships maximize the health team’s ability to follow the plans set to meet mutual goals
- Accessible evidence supports just-in-time health decision-making by people and their caregivers
- The entire health team works from the same goals and data set
- Transparent health care costs
- Healthy health care organizations
- Hardwired continual learning from evolving experience and evidence
- Financial and human incentive alignment
