While participating in the P2 Project Team huddle yesterday something struck me as an "A-HA". That it was how our team have been interacting with each other, cross connecting across roles and responsibilities and supporting each other IS what we are trying to model in the community as a whole. The idea of collaboration. Each member of the team is coming from a place of their own, struggling and striving to become one with the goal and vision we want to achieve. Each person taking what they know and what they have experienced and putting into use in a both an abstract and very real culture, one that seems at times pitted against each other. Our current healthcare system and the very different culture where patient's come first.
I believe it was in listening to our team members talk, those who are still grasping what it is they need to accomplish and those team members who had just visited the Greenfield Clinic in Beaverton, Oregon, a surreal experience of the complete opposite of what our healthcare provides our patients now, that brought this to light for me.
The struggle to accomplish what at times seems the impossible and then knowing that out there somewhere the impossible is possible. Tthe goal to meld this into a reality for our community, our patients, our stakeholders and our team has for me re-ingnited the flame of hope. As I was struggling in my personal transition I felt I was losing some of the focus on where we were going. This conversation stimulated my personal endeavor to obtain the impossible whatever that may be.
