Transitioning to new policies and procedures can be tricky, especially if existing habits run deep. So much care comes down to muscle memory, and long after my hospital went digital, I continued to reach out for where the clipboard used to hang. Medicine is almost like a dance, and all the supporting actors -- nurses, PAs, therapists -- make up a troupe. When the steps change, we're prone to bumping into one another, both figuratively and physically. That's why grace is so important. Mistakes happen when policies and procedures shift, and coming down hard on missteps only compounds stress, leading to worse performance in the long run. Approach changes with a sense of humor and understanding, and you'll find that people pick up new behaviors quicker and more effectively.
