Partnership Council Field Book - Strategies and Tools for Co-Creating a Healthy Work Place (Wisdom from the Field Series)

The Wisdom From The Field Series:
Every person, at one time or another, will need the services of health care. That alone speaks to the importance of this series. The quality of our health care system will impact the quality of life for every member of our society. The health care system is experiencing major transformation. This four book series uncovers the work necessary to create the best place to receive health care and the best place for those who provide the care to work. The content reflects the lessons learned from thousands of people across the continent committed to co-create such a system. The four fundamental characteristics necessary to create the best place will be progressively explored throughout the series. No one will be untouched by the wisdom shared from those who give and receive care who are actively doing this work.

Partnership Council Field Book is the fourth in the series. This field book captures the fundamental, day to day work necessary to create an infrastructure essential to support healthy relationships. Partnerships are the heartbeat of the best place to receive health care and the best place for those who provide the care to work. The 300 pages are filled with lessons learned from the effort to transition the familiar bureaucratic, hierarchical culture to one of partnership. The wisdom from the field is not a reiteration of theory, but clinical approaches and outcomes that have emerged in multiple clinical settings across the continent doing the work. The patterns, successes and failure experienced over the 14 year effort give insight, direction, support and hope for those desiring and working on a healthy, healing health care system.
