The Situation Ongoing communication problems between the Hmong community and Riverbend City Medical Center (RCMC) were negatively affected by the train derailmentespecially through the altercation with the Vang family. An embarrassing article about the altercation in the Free Press prompts hospital CEO Eugene Pittman to investigate options to implement change, including researching a successful Merced, California, program. In Merced, the medical community has been teaching principles of Western medicine to Hmong shamans (traditional spiritual healers). The shamans act as a bridge between medical professionals and the Hmong community. When consulting with Hmong patients, the shamans instruct the patients in Western medicine and also perform traditional rituals. Considerations It is important for leaders to consider the cultural norms and needs of the people they serve. It also sometimes becomes necessary to consider ideas that may seem unorthodox. As you read about the strategies being considered by RCMC leadership, consider the degree to which you feel the Merced program will be effective. What other steps should the hospital CEO take to address the current situation? How might a systems thinking approach be helpful?
