¶ … Health Care Change
The change process is influenced by myriad philosophical, ethical, regulatory, and reflective interactions, particularly for entities involved in the health care industry. Regulatory interactions establish mandates that organizations must adhere to, which require changes in procedures. Similarly, ethical interactions can affect the change process by establishing precedents based on the outcomes of previous ethical decisions, which provide the basis for additional behavior in similar ethical situations. Reflective interactions affect the change process by enabling parties to ruminate about previous successes and failures, and to change their organizations to maximize the former and minimize the latter. Philosophical interactions influence the change process by allowing health care practitioners to exchange varying viewpoints and perspectives on matters that can provide the impetus for departmental or organizational change.
The impact of networking and collaboration with inter-professional groups seeking to resolve global health care problems can be profound, even nationally (Office, 2016). Essentially, the confluence of these groups provides an opportunity for the ready exchange of procedures and information that can affect the health care of individuals in different locations. The sort of networking that these groups facilitate enables group members to encounter perspectives, philosophies, and perhaps even ethical stances that are at variance with their own. As such, they are left to determine which of those are truly beneficial and can perhaps create value in both their organizations or general line of practice.
Social media is actually a valuable way to impact networking and collaboration with inter-professional groups (Cybriwsky, 2011). This fact is true because these various web sites serve as a platform to exchange relevant information of use to a plethora of industry professionals. If one were to simply denote some of the more pragmatic uses of Twitter, for example, one would realize that multiple articles and best practices are regularly highlighted via this medium.
