INBW41: End-of-Year Wrap-Up and My Personal Charter Encore: Where the Rubber Hits the Road

In this Inbetweenisode titled 'End of Year Wrap Up and My Personal Charter Encore,' Stacey Richter extends heartfelt thanks to listeners and healthcare workers for their dedication.  She reflects on the challenges of maintaining personal integrity in a profit-driven healthcare system and introduces her personal charter. This charter, focused on ensuring net positive outcomes for patients, acknowledges that achieving transformational change in healthcare requires a collective effort.  Stacey discusses the complexities of balancing ethical decisions, financial constraints, and the broader impact on patient care, urging others to reflect on their own guiding principles. Here's her manifesto which she is now calling her Personal Charter below which she breaks down in this podcast episode: "If the thing results in a net positive for patients, then I will do it. The timeframe is short-term or medium-term. And the assumption is that it will take a village and I am not alone in my efforts to transform healthcare or do right by patients." === LINKS === 🔗  Show Notes with all mentioned links:  https://cc-lnk.com/INBW41 ✉️  Enjoy this podcast?
