Progress Misses the Mark


Water cooler conversation ~
Monetary effects on employee populations shifting and changing over time.
New gadgets and programs doing numerous tasks - faster.

Why all the transitions?
Bed utilization in hospitals and residential facilities
Dollars shrinking and ballooning within departments 
Technological changes as progress progresses
paper and pen to electronic documentation 
trailing histories and life events
Touch and intuition lost as
machines and gadgets beep and whirr.

What does not transition?
An individual’s need for care when
sick of mind, body or spirit.
Touch and intuition provide
the soul within rigid tasks of technology and budgets.

“Progress is man’s ability to complicate simplicity.”
~ Thor Heyerdahl
