Summary:
Today’s fast-paced healthcare setting is full of surprises. Nothing is simple. People live longer with more chronic and complex problems. There’s greater family involvement, and a variety of care providers involved in a single plan of care. You’re expected to get things done quicker, better and more cost effectively. Each day, it seems like you have to learn something new or adapt to a major change. To succeed in the workplace, you must be able to think critically. You need to know how to clearly and quickly focus your thinking in a way that gets the results you want, whether it’s helping a challenging patient, resolving a conflict with a coworker, or mastering how to use electronic health records (EHR).
