What's Your Pulse?

Have you ever questioned why they check your pulse when you see a doctor?

I always wondered why?it was important to?know?if my?pulse was a bit slow or fast??To me, it?was?just a?bit?of?extraneous?information?I dumped as soon as the?cold stethoscope hit my chest.?Despite the appearance of a formality,?a pulse?check?can?actually provide?meaningful?insights?about?your?health.?For example, a?slow pulse?can?point towards?heart disease,?certain infections, high levels of potassium, or even an underactive thyroid?gland.?A fast?pulse could be?due to an infection,?cardiomyopathy, anemia or asthma.?Despite the complexity of human anatomy, a simple pulse check is critical for identifying serious health issues before they occur.??

At?Vetergy, we?use an?Index and Pulse?model to?evaluate?and?monitor organizational health.?During the?Operational Resilience Evaluation (ORE),?we?index?the?15 constructs of resilience?using mixed methods.?Based on the?identified?areas?in need of improvement, we?develop?programs and?work?with the organization?to achieve?lasting change.??We aim?to overcome?status quo;?instill new behaviors;?and finally, monitor and adapt.?But lasting change comes from more than?instilling new behaviors or process improvements.?Lasting change results from a change in?the mindsets of the employees.?Monitoring for mindset shifts?is accomplished through?organizational?pulse?checks.??
