Health Care's Prisoners' Dilemma

There is an old example from game theory called the Prisoners' Dilemma.  Two prisoners, kept in separate rooms, are offered a deal that will be advantangeous to one but harmful to the other.  Without a chance to communicate together, the prisoners make a choice that will decrease their short term personal distress. In so doing however, they miss opportunities that could help both of them.

Health care is in one large prisoners' dilemma. We are kept in cells of our own making.  Departments will not speak to one another.  Shifts will bite and snip rather then work it out.  And while this occurs, day to day decisions are made that will lessen short term pain to the detriment of long term gain.

Darby Training Programs specializes in helping health care professionals work together effectively.  Working together effectively means:

• Resources, both physical and people, are not wasted
• Effort is directed toward common goals
• Employees are able to problem solve responsibly
