We live in an age of abusive social media, so it seems even more difficult to “find the middle” now. What lessons can you apply to your life by addressing each of the items in the Eightfold Path of the Noble Way?

“The Middle Way.” Moderation seems to be a hard thing for many people to understand. Two great authors had radically different insights on moderation: “Complete abstinence is easier than perfect moderation,” (Saint Augustine) and “Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess” (Oscar Wilde).

Discuss the pros and cons of reporting contractual adjustments directly on the monthly financial reports at the department level. As a healthcare administrator, how would you address this in your own organization?

Please include the name of the person or question to which you are replying in the subject line. For example, “Tom’s response to Susan’s comment.”
Koneisha:

It is highly important to report any contractual changes to the department, not only monthly but as soon as it happens. In doing so, it will keep everyone that works in the department privy to the information and no one is feeling left out. Some of the people that are in the meeting will not need to have the information but it is always better to have and not need than to need and not have. This style of information can be contagious and when one of the subordinates reaches the supervisor or manager level, sharing information and keeping the subordinates informed is a trait that is missing in the working environment. A con to having this information every month and briefing the department heads is that those in attendance will get bored, especially if it is verbiage or even as simple as a time change in delivering. Overall, the information concerning any contractual agreement is highly important.
