The Journey
Hiking to the RPI
Technology is magical. I am writing this as I hike through Seattle’s Interlaken Park to get to our Capitol Hill specialty center. (I haven’t figured out another way to get up the massive hill)
Because I am going to a rapid process improvement (RPI). My thoughts are much different than if I was going to “the office.” Instead of going over all the things I need to do, I am thinking of all of the things I hope to learn and all of the ways I hope to help our patients, nurses, and doctors. I have no idea what I’ll be doing an hour from now. Just that I’ll be meeting new people, people I’ve known, and we’re going to make our care system better.
What a different job description than the one I started this job with. I can’t believe I get paid for this on top.
