Morgan Therapeutics' Time Principal
"Patience and time do more than strength or passion.”
- Jean de La Fontaine
​
“It's really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time.”
- Steve Jobs
As a preamble to this white paper, Dr. Morgan has offered his “Broken Model of Health Care”. This white paper states Dr. Morgan’s professional mission to place emphasis on both the quality and the quantity of services provided. It is Dr. Morgan’s philosophy that this value driven approach yields better outcomes, and a better overall experience for his patients. Based on their experience at Morgan Therapeutics, Dr. Morgan’s patients typically turn to him first for their neuromusculoskeletal health.
Health and Wellness is a time-dependent process. Effective healing and rehabilitation fundamentally relies upon both time and the appropriate intervention.
“We must move away from a supply-driven health care system organized around what physicians do and toward a patient-centered system organized around what patients need.”​
- Porter and Lee in the Oct 2013 issue
of the Harvard Business Review, “The
Strategy That Will Fix Health Care”
TIME, in a therapeutic sense, has many aspects:
​
-
The healing response takes time
-
Thorough, thoughtful interviewing and examination requires substantial time
-
Genuine, patient-centered health care requires time
-
Effective therapeutic interventions are dependent on time
-
In keeping with the Stimulus & Response methodology, exposure to an adaptation inducing stimulus is measured in exposure time to the stimulus
-
Gathering of information and decision-making is a timely process
-
Efficacy of a therapeutic intervention is dependent on accuracy of diagnosis and identification of the contributing variables; this is a time intensive process
-
Your health concerns deserve a respectful time spent with your health care provider
-
A working relationship between doctor and patient demands mutual respect
-
Dr. Morgan respects his patient’s time
-
Dr. Morgan requires his patients respect his time and that of his other patients
-
Dr. Morgan affords greater treatment time blocks to his patience
-
Each office visit is a diagnose and treat intervention, as musculoskeletal health and wellness is a moving target
-
In consideration of Dr. Morgan’s generosity with his time, Morgan Therapeutics has an appointment cancellation and no-show policy. Your health and wellness is a pact between you and Dr. Morgan
-
To the best of our ability, Morgan Therapeutics will run promptly on schedule
-
Patients at Morgan Therapeutics are asked to arrive on-time and in a frame of mind that respects the pact between them and Dr. Morgan

Ironically, respect given to the time dependent of quality healthcare typically returns health and wellness benefits in a more timely manner,
shorter treatment and rehabilitative periods, less time in pain
-
Time in pain is wasted time
-
Isn’t it time?
