Fascinating about ...I hope things only get better.<br /><br />Fascinating about the car insurance issue... makes me wonder what she could have done to document the issue better. The only thing I can think of is an iPhone-like HD video immediately upon being hit where you verbally talk through what happened and highlight damage to the car. Of course, proving authenticity of that kind of a record could be difficult, but it's a start.joebeonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11435127775692776239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-12953389064865928262012-02-02T09:18:48.364-08:002012-02-02T09:18:48.364-08:00Moving piece John.

I used to read this blog for your insight into health IT etc. but increasingly I am landing here just to know how is everything with you and family. <br /><br />Your poise in the face of so many challenges gives me strength as I face the prospect of failing health of my parents separated by vast distance.<br /><br />Our prayers are with you.Ninad Mishrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12395352919711504237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-91958239885573595542012-02-02T03:52:18.194-08:002012-02-02T03:52:18.194-08:00The bureaucratic processes put in place by our soc...The bureaucratic processes put in place by our societal institutions can be the most infuriating parts of life, as they indeed create a sense of helplessness. Especially so when you are feeling vulnerable for other reasons.<br /><br />You either fight them through, painfully step by step, as you did with the insurance matter -- or you let them wash over you as irrelevant in the big scheme of things. Either approach has merit!<br /><br />It is interesting to think, though, that those same processes dehumanize the very people who are "doing it" to you. We create companies and agencies in which staff people are faceless and unfeeling in part because we design their work environment to be uncaring to those staff members.<br /><br />How poignant is this in the health care environment, where much the same often happens!<br /><br />In any organizational setting, then, our job as leaders is to help design and promote a work environment that empowers every single person and gives him/her a sense that s/he is valued for what s/he bring to the organization -- that gives them the tools to treat every client/patient/customer as they would want a member of their own family treated.Paul Levyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17065446378970179507noreply@blogger.com
