💭 Can focusing on our inter-professional relationships better our patient experiences?
Over the last year, Aurum’s Health Providers came together as part of our vision for collaboration. The goal was to:
🔹Create a team dynamic that prioritizes the quality of all relationships
🔹Explore power and privilege as it comes up between each other in our interprofessional relationships
🔹Integrate the lessons we learn from this group to become better, more inclusive and effective practitioners for our clients and patients
📖Every month we read a chapter of Adrienne Maree Brown’s “Emergent Strategy” and then met as a group to discuss our reflections.
Five of our favorite quotes from this book:
1/ “Focus on critical connections more than critical mass—build the resilience by building the relationships” (p. 42)
2/ In the chapter on Non-linearity, “transformation does not happen in a linear way, at least not one we can always track. It happens in cycles, convergences, explosions. If we release the framework of failure, we can realize that we are in iterative cycles, and we can keep asking ourselves - how do I learn from this?” (p. 105)
3/ Fractals: “what we practice at the small scale sets the patterns for the whole system” (p.53)
4/ Creating more possibilities: “The more people who cocreate the future, the more people whose concerns will be addressed from the foundational level in this world. Meaningful collaboration both relies on and deepens relationship -- the stronger the bond between the people or groups in collaboration, the more possibility you can hold” p.158-159
5/ “We heal ourselves, and we heal in relationship, and from that place, simultaneously, we create more space for healed communities, healed movements, healed worlds” p.192
Takeaways:
✳️Building strong relationships help provide a better collaborative health care experience for patients & providers alike.
✳️Our personal work impacts the world.
