SYMBIOTIC: AN AUTHENTIC LOOK

SYMBIOTIC:

AN AUTHENTIC LOOK

---We have been asked to make the concept of symbiotic very simple as it applies in an authentic way to the hospital setting.

---To quickly explain to those who may NOT know, symbiotic (in our hospital setting) – is where the staff depends on the resident as much as the resident depends on the staff. To go a step further...the patient needs the staff to help him to lead as normal a life as possible. The opposite is true for the staff. His job depends on the patient. He is paid for his services, in both cash and in the satisfaction that he has helped a fellow human being which carries with it its own rewards.

---The goal of the Nursing Home/Hospital is for the patient to reach the highest and truest of himself. The patient should thrive + prosper according to his abilities, needs and preferences. The patient should be at the top of his game as much as is possible in happiness and contentedness. The job of the staff is to make that happen. 

---A happy and contented Nursing Home/Hospital will only occur if ALL the players in the game are happy and contented. I'm sure you can figure this out. Help each other out if need be the case. Don’t compete and compare with each other. Leave your problems at the door. If you have any gripes put them in the suggestion box - anonymous as you like. If you have something fixed that bugs you, others may be positively affected. Let’s make this a better place to be for ALL the staff and the residents. Truly, we are ALL in this together! Be Well.
