✅ Are My Incentives Aligned with Their Agency?
You care. You want to help.
But in a system driven by productivity and compliance, even well-meaning clinicians can find themselves nudged away from what matters most: the patient’s agency.
This piece challenges you to pause and reflect — not just on what you’re doing, but why you’re doing it… and who it’s really serving.
It introduces an insight about realigning care with conscience — especially in moments of burnout, frustration, or routine.
You’re doing your best to help, but the system has its own agenda.
Sometimes, healing gets quietly replaced with productivity.
Agency gets overshadowed by compliance.
Care becomes protocol-driven instead of person-centered.
This Wondering invites a pause, a moment to reflect not just on what you’re doing, but why.
And who benefits from your current approach.
Because the truth is: misaligned incentives can sabotage even the best intentions.
This is a call to realign your practice with what matters most: their agency, and your integrity.
