Stimulate Curiosity

As adults mature, their curiosity and sense of awe or wonder tend to decline.  Yet, it is these very characteristics that drive innovation, change and long-term success.  Albert Einstein said, "I have no special talents, I am merely very curious." 

Cancer Registrars cannot afford to lose their curiosity or sense of wonder.  In today's rapidly changing environment lack of curiosity or sense of wonder of all the technology and innovation in healthcare will render a Registrar's skills and expertise useless or outdated.  Don't let this happen to you!

Develop the habits to stimulate your curiosity and growth.  Do not tolerate complacency and, instead, opt for encouragement, exploration and even pushing, yourself and others, to do things better and differently. 

With the economic downturns, hospital administrators and the leadership team are now focusing their attention on restarting growth, developing better relationships with patients, families and employees and changing up programs and services to meet the needs of the customer. Cancer Registrars who want to remain in the field will adopt the organization's mindset and develop new attributes that will secure their role in the organization of the future.
