Updates on Expected Practices
 DHS Specialists have revised the following Expected Practice for use at DHS facilities:
Minute for Medicine - The Key to Storytelling
 Storytelling is a powerful tool used in healthcare organizations for a reason. Throughout history, stories have shaped our world. They can communicate a problem, provide context, and present a solution in a person’s life.
In healthcare, stories have the ability to connect us to what truly matters in a patient encounter.
By understanding our patients' stories, we gain insight into their priorities and what matters most to them in their healthcare journey. Sharing stories with colleagues provides a space to express the joys and challenges of caring for others. Moreover, stories have the potential to drive change in healthcare, promoting transparency and enhancing the well-being of healthcare professionals.
