Live a legacy or live a lie: a choice

This article is about the result of a choice to Live a Legacy or Live a Lie. The choice led to the development and implementation of a clinical practice model (CPM) designed to create a healthy, healing integrated practice culture. The focus is on the foundation of the model that is a unique ongoing process called the Core Belief Review. The purpose of the review is to uncover those things that matter most for both those who give and receive care. The ongoing open communication process provides insights and truths about reality and a sense of direction related to the nature of the work necessary to create and sustain the best places to give and receive care. The results of the review feedback from 2500 providers and recipients of care are correlated to the actions taken to address the complexities of the point-of-care reality and the clinical outcomes reached as a result of collaboration and lessons learned within an International Consortium.
