Changing the culture in health care

“Changing the culture in health care”

“PHPEP” is all about creating a new culture in health care system where wellbeing of health professionals and patient experience are the main mission. This idea is based on a belief that these elements are link to each other and feed from one another. Establishing a new culture in our health care system with all its complexities, priorities and struggles is an extremely difficult task and will requires time and personal and institutional commitment and effort. First, it requires an understanding of the bottom-line issues. One is lack of attention to wellbeing of health professionals in the health care system. Many ways have been recommended to improve the wellbeing of the health professional at their workplace. One of the most important element is changing the mindset of health professionals towards their job. Recognizing the sacred value of health profession will create a meaningful purpose for the health professionals to see their work as a remarkable opportunity to engage in care of others, create connection and practice the essence of humanity. This not only would generate the sense of gratitude and satisfaction in their patients but also create a sense of pride and contentment in the health professionals. The daily exercises of these practices would gradually institute the new culture of care in our work place where the work is not exhausting and stressful anymore but instead is the playground for wellbeing.
