GOH Medical is growing. Over the next several months we will need to add a new medical provider: a doctor, nurse practitioner, or a physician’s assistant. Do you know the right person for this job? Here are some thoughts to consider;
- “Not on our watch” The Institute of Medicine has boldly declared that we “know what to do, but are not doing what we know” and this must stop. What would a clinic look like if the commitment was to proactive, preventive health care first; illness management and reactive care second? We are looking for a provider that wants to review each patient for possible future issues to address them before they develop symptoms.
- “Committed to curing the ‘I Feel Fine’ Syndrome” There is a big difference between “I feel fine” and “I am healthy.” Patient engagement before symptoms occur is vital to preventing diabetes and heart disease, and diagnosing cancer in stage 1. Using The Seven Numbers as a teaching tool and foundation we empower each patient to learn and live the Seven Numbers that Can Save their Life,
- “Only the best” When problems do appear what does it take to find the best solution? A large part of GOH Clinic is making sure that each person gets what they need when they need it at the right place for the right price – whatever it takes. Coordination of care, transitions of care, communicating and getting records sent out, and following up are vital commitments,
- “Technology leverage” Text, email, blogs, electronic health and medical records, the latest equipment. We are looking for a technology geek/nerd with a personality,
- “Part of a team” Each teammate at GOH Medical is a link on a chain that includes everyone from the maintenance crew to the super-specialist at the hospital. All important for a successful healthcare, over-communication and a commitment to six sigma/lean processes ensure success,
- “A teacher committed to delegation and empowerment” Medical knowledge doubles every 18 months. The best we can do for patients is to understand their challenge, educate them, suggest a course, and encourage them to learn as much as they can to play an active, vital role in their health; GOH Medical understands that there is more that we know that we do not know, than there is that we know, about any particular topic. Even if we read 24/7/365 we will fall hopelessly behind. There is no place for arrogance, coercion or convincing; only sharing what we know, sharing what we expect to occur, and then closely communicating if this does not occur over time. We are a member of a team, we empower, encourage and give 110% effort.
- “Focusing first on lifestyle” Food is the strongest drug we put in our bodies every day, exercise the best medicine; but that is not all, there are The Seven Healers we need to pull into our lives each day. It is from this foundation that we encourage our patients to win the Game of Health.
- “An open minded healer” Allopathic medicine has changed the world. Evidence based, informed, outcomes oriented… and it is incomplete and often fails to provide complete healing. Weak in mind:body medicine, lifestyle intervention, natural healing, myofascial manipulation, meridian management/acupuncture, supplements and other disciplines that may be less rigorous or researched in their body of knowledge, these other disciplines must be recruited for whole person, successful healing. Focusing on the patient, not the dogma of one discipline, is required,
- “Courageous” we do not believe in codependency or enabling – this means supporting patients to support themselves through The Empowerment Dynamic – TED, not rushing in to “save” or “cure” our patients. Our patients are not powerless victims of situations; they are powerful creators of a great life and we are a vital member of their team. Healthcare workers want to help, but this can digress into a one up: one down dependency – one we are committed to avoid. Sometimes it takes more time and effort to promote, but ultimately it is the road to health,
- “Serving all” With our innovative GOH4Health, GOH4Wellness, and GOH4Breakthroughs we serve people with and without insurance, insured patients and corporations. Our population based, proactive approach minimizes the waste and redundancy creating very high Value {= (quality + safety)/cost} care.
- “Loving” we are followers of Jesus Christ. This is not to say we discriminate, convince, coerce or force our beliefs on others – quite the opposite. We see each patient as a gift, tremendous potential, and our commitment is to make sure they know we are Christians by our actions; the loving, non-judgemental care they receive from us. At GOH Medical, all are welcome, all are served.
Our systems are in place, our team is becoming more competent and proactive. By this fall we will be running smoothly and ready to serve a larger group of patients with a population based, whole person orientation. We are looking for a provider(s) who shares our beliefs and philosophy to add years to the life and life to the years by empowering breakthroughs in the lives of those we serve.
