In the typical healthcare setting, the operational logistics of service delivery are left-brain oriented--calculated, analytical, purposeful, and often orchestrated by policies, procedures, and processes that ensure predictable outcomes in quality and safety.Patients, however, assess the care they receive from a right-brain perspective--intuitive, emotional, and impulsive. Even though they recognize that technical and diagnostic skills are vital, the lasting impressions formed by patients and families revolve around not just the treatment itself, but in how they are treated. That becomes the standard by which they judge the overall healthcare experience.Service Delivery vs. Service Excellence explores the opposing forces at work during the patient healthcare journey and the measures that can be taken to create caring cultures that result in highly satisfied patients. You too can create outstanding patient experiences.

How to implement effecitve, magnetic leadership by applying asset-based thinking and shifting your mindset from the negative to the positive Lead Positive takes the fundamentals of Asset-Based Thinking (ABT) and turns them into a playbook for successful leadership. ABT is a simple mindset management process that shows people how to make small shifts in perception and thinking to achieve great results. Cramer shows leaders how to apply ABT to shift their attention away from what is negative and learn to intentionally shine the spotlight on the positive, beneficial facts of a situation. As they make this mental shift from negative to positive aspects, they improve their optimism, empathy, and confidence. When their mindset zooms in on what is strong, valuable, and possible, what they say and do is far more likely to inspire others to action. In short, ABT helps leaders shift internally so they can excel externally. Lead Positive weaves neuroscience and positive psychology to create effective leadership strategies.

In "Patient Privacy: When It Matters", Dr. Mazer chronicles the history of privacy within the cultural norms of the time and then moves to the current narratives from patients who share their own stories. The question of when patient privacy matters is answered through the lens of the lived experience. "Whatever I see or hear in the lives of my patients... I will keep secret, as considering all such things to be private." (From the Hippocratic Oath, 4th century, B.C.) Patient privacy was first declared in writing by Hippocrates in the 5th century and is often considered the first document to define ethical standards of patient care. Today, while patient privacy remains a mandate for every healthcare professional, it has become enveloped in exceptions many of which are defined in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. The analysis identifies both direct and indirect implications for the patient experience.
