A Poem to aid Healthcare Professionals in work flow and outcomes redesign

The reapportioned vigil of healthcare

Begins with those who are aware

Of a new and loving way

To carry forth the sick and gray

By reaching with an open hand

To gather those who understand

That the wheel in which we run

Must be tossed, not redone

We may feel we’re on our backs

When swift change rends and attacks

The work that we must do

Within the team of me and you

But this is just the place

To redesign and erase

Crazy times too busy to think

To a place where problems shrink

From the burden that is disease

We will learn how to ease

The suffering of patient and colleague

From worthless routine we will be freed

To help people choose a life of vigor

Whether rich or poor or ditch digger

Those we strive to help mend

Are just us in the end
