Healthcare Compliance Quotes

The aversion to pain is as deep as the first nerve cell in the oldest organism. We would like to contain pain as a personal problem, a health-care issue for folders and privacy and sighing and "Get well soon."

We need to talk about the patterns of pain.

Daring leaders, even in compliance-driven and highly structured industries like banking, healthcare, and the food industry, create and share context and color. They take the time to explain the “why” behind strategies, and how tasks link to ongoing priorities and mission work.
