our own system
Hi there, I'm Drew Weilage and I'm working to make healthcare better for patients.
This is a blog with links to healthcare goings on, trends, and uncategorized interestingness as well as attempts to filter my own healthcare thinking through essay.
I am greatly aware of my idealistic, naive even, views on a number of topics. But frankly, I think healthcare is in dire need of more of the "what's possible/what could be" type of thinking. I'm greatly protective of my unabashed idealism but always open to reason and discourse about any of it.
This is round two of my blogging life, the first being archived here.

Molasses-like progress
Communication, or the lack there of, is a big problem in healthcare organizations. The multi-disciplinary nature of healthcare delivery is largely responsible for that. We need input from everyone to make decisions.
That’s also why change can seem so slow (Rather, that is why change is so slow). So instead of trying to include everyone, should we just include those who are necessary?
This is a difficult conundrum. I’ve long been an advocate of lots of communication. The effectiveness of that communication is the important measure, however, not the volume.
An article by Joel Spolsky on Inc. explains the perils of too much communication: molasses-like progress.
