007 Health Care Education: Shaken AND Stirred

Obamacare, Meaningful Use, ICD-10 transition, Readmissions, Value Based Purchasing, HCAHPS, Dr. No or Dr. Yes and I hope we all Live Twice.

Health care in 2013 is both shaken and stirred!

As a health care education company, Inquisit takes many lessons from the mysterious, resourceful and creative 007.

#1.  Pick a good theme song or in our case a good brand/logo.   The "James Bond Theme" is the main signature theme of the James Bond films and has been featured in every Eon Productions Bond film since Dr. No, released in 1962. When you hear those famous first few notes you know it is Bond. It is tradition.  It is recognizable. Our Inquisit theme sets the tone for our adventure and compliments the vitality of Inquisit. Just like the Bond standard with which we are all familiar.  Inquisit is a standard you will and should come to know. Inquisit…just Inquisit.

#2. Be creative. 007 has never been above using a pen as a gun or using dental floss as a trip wire. His creativity has saved his life and the lives of many women over the years. Well, Inquisit may not save your life (even though we would like to do so), we certainly give creativity a shot.  We write this fun blog, use colorful icons, partner with outstanding education partners, and find easy ways to work with each of you. 

#3.  Be Professional. Bond rarely lets things get personal. For the most part, Bond remains cool and professional, even in the most dangerous situations. What has Inquisit learned from this? To cool our jets.  Not our creative jets…just our emotional jets.  Being professional includes being accountable. Inquisit takes our mission very seriously.  We provide quality educational content for healthcare professionals.  We are accountable to you, our customers, to be just as professional. 

#4. Take Advantage of the Latest Gadgets. Every Bond film has numerous gadgets to aid Bond in his adventures. It is great fun to guess which gadgets will prove to be the most useful as the Bond plot develops. Yes, technology can be a wonderful thing.  Or not!  Inquisit has the great fortune to work with a technology team that listens and occasionally, just like Q, delivers tools that we didn’t even know we needed.  How’s that for shaken, not stirred?  Yes, “gadgets” or IT software is great but the lesson learned from Bond, James Bond, is: you may have a large array of gadgets, but you have to use the right tool for the right job.  The biggest mistake I see, is hoping technology solves the problem without clearly understanding the problem at hand. 007 always knows his mission and which gadget will help him achieve success.  Think about it…over a martini!

#5. Never Give Up. Bond is trapped in a pool full of sharks, but does that stop him? No way! He simply looks for a way out. All of us, in whatever business we do, may find ourselves is a proverbial shark tank now and then.  Inquisit says… smile and smack that shark right on the head.   We have tenacity and courage to believe in our company and our ideas and we will continue to bring you the best healthcare continuing education we can.

 

Bond’s family motto is “The World is not Enough” and so is our motto here at Inquisit where the world, of health care education, as it is, is never enough so we continue to offer chic, stylish, debonair services that are  forever reminiscent of Bond, James Bond.
