Our research shows that engaging in meaningful work is among the key drivers of holistic health. Organizations that integrate purpose into their business strategy -- and throughout the organization -- perform better and have healthier, happier employees.   Recently, McKinsey Health Institute Coleader Barbara Jeffery sat down with Workhuman’s KeyAnna Schmiedl and Slack’s Christina Janzer at #VivaTech 2024 to discuss the importance of having purpose at work, the business case for investing in purpose-driven work, how technology is changing purpose in the workplace, and more.   Watch the full session here: https://lnkd.in/gaqwgE2A Read the research: https://lnkd.in/gWCKdYKs https://lnkd.in/gzZUdmMz   #employeehealth #holistichealth #purpose

As I sit here on a very dark morning, I’m reminded of Wayne Dyer’s quote, “Don’t die with your music still in you.” And that’s why in my heart I know that there’s a lot more work for me to do. I’m obsessed with getting businesses to care equally about their social impact alongside their profits. But I'm doing it on my own terms. I’m stepping away from the usual hustle – no obligatory social media posts, video creation, live courses or networking events for me, unless it truly feels right. My passion lies in working closely with clients and a small group of their stakeholders. Taking a deep dive into the impacts they are making and aspire to make. In my zone of genius, I thrive on working out how to measure outcomes and impacts and automate the process, while keeping the human touch. This includes everything from data collection and analysis to performance dashboards, reporting, scenario building, and process mapping. Over time, my passion has gravitated towards healthcare. I'm driven to demonstrate what truly works from the patient’s perspective, not just in terms of value for money. I envision a shift from emergency to early intervention in healthcare, focusing on real impact rather than just meeting appointment targets. 👉 So here’s my invitation: If you’re working in the NHS, or delivering services for the NHS, and you're ready to embrace impact in your work, let’s connect. Message me to explore possibilities and options, and together, let’s change the narrative around what works in healthcare. #SocialImpact #HealthCare #ImpactMeasurement PS: What’s one change you’d like to see in the healthcare system that prioritises patient outcomes over traditional metrics? Share your thoughts!

Holistic health is more than food, behavior, and personalized care. McKinsey illustrates how it includes spiritual health, in addition to physical, mental, and social aspects. Spiritual health is about purpose, meaning, and connection, not religion. Understanding these dimensions is a powerful differentiator in healthcare delivery models for startups building the future.

Another year around the sun ☀️, and this one has been filled with lessons, growth, and meaningful challenges. As I celebrated my birthday last week, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on a few key learnings from the past year: 🎉 💪🏾 Resilience is everything – In healthcare, we are always facing the unexpected. Whether it’s adapting to new regulations, navigating workforce shortages, or addressing patient needs, resilience has been my anchor. 🫱🏾🫲🏽 Collaboration is key – Leading a team is about more than decision-making; it’s about empowering others. I’ve witnessed the power of interdisciplinary collaboration, especially when we give our teams the tools and trust to succeed. 💖 Compassion goes both ways – As healthcare providers, we care for patients, but we must also show compassion to ourselves and each other. Prioritizing well-being in a high-stakes environment can make all the difference in long-term sustainability. 💡 Innovation matters – This year has reminded me to stay curious, open to new ideas, and proactive in finding ways to bridge gaps in care, especially for underserved populations. #HealthcareLeadership #Teamwork #InnovationInCare #HealthcareHeroes #GrowthAndLearning #Minneapolis #BusinessOwner

At Shifting Frames Consulting, we use evidence-based strategies to provide organizations and healthcare professionals with the tools to interrupt bias in their daily work. Implicit and explicit bias impacts healthcare interactions everyday. Despite many explicitly held professional codes of ethics and personal values, patient and provider interactions often reveal disparities across many identities. Unfortunately, these disparities break down patient trust, negatively impact patient outcomes, and can also contribute to provider burnout due to decreased connection and distress regarding outcomes. We know healthcare environments are complex and healthcare professionals deserve the time and resources to continuously improve their practice within a system committed to health equity and provider wellbeing. We want to highlight an impactful article which used simulation to understand healthcare professionals’ perspectives on communication feedback on patient encounters. So often, we do not know how something landed for a patient or colleague, we may not ever get feedback that is actionable. Emily Bascom, Reggie Casanova-Perez, Kelly Tobar, Manas Bedmutha, Harshini Ramaswamy, Wanda Pratt, Janice Sabin (she/her), Brian Wood, Nadir Weibel and Andrea Hartzler published excellent work which outlines communication feedback tools that are most appealing to providers regarding implicit bias in patient encounters. Providers in the study shared they preferred a dashboard available to providers on overall communication skills and individual patient encounters. On the dashboard, providers can see the number of interruptions in a visit, amount of eye contact, their dominance in the conversation, and signs of rapport and warmth. 🌱 The dashboard method promotes a growth mindset and counters a shaming mindset. One participant stated they liked the ability to see their overall performance and performance by different patient demographics, stating “It has less to do with the certain group of patients but the way I relate to them”. Providers shared they can use this information to interrupt their biases before a visit, and promote their growth in changing patient experience over time. Overall, this paper provides great insights and there are copious opportunities to apply what was uncovered to further transform the workplace culture. 🎁 It is a gift to receive feedback from others, and this practice can be integrated into our daily work, even when a dashboard may not be available. Thank you to the authorship team for sharing their work! #HealthEquity #ImplicitBiasInterruption #RealisticPractice #SeenHeardAndValued #DailyWork Graphic created by Megan Murrell Illustration  © Shifting Frames Consulting, LLC

As an emergency physician, I feel the complexity of the healthcare system during every busy shift. 🏥 It is heartbreaking to know there are such stark disparities in the outcomes of the patients I serve based on their intersectional identities including but not limited to racial, ethnic, ability status, gender, or religious identities. 🆔 This quote really struck me and is a reminder that we are all doing our best and still can welcome opportunities to do better - “It has less to do with the certain group of patients but the way I relate to them”. 🤔 Check out this article that highlights a potential tool, a personalized dashboard, that I could use to reflect on how I'm showing up in real time, recognize my biases, and adjust my behaviors. 🔎 Practicing bias interruption skills in simulation and then translating these skills to the bedside can help us to do better for everyone we serve. I appreciate the opportunity to show up as a better clinician and human for my patients and colleagues. 💟
