Synocracy is based upon consensus, not majority rule. In majority rule, there are always those that are discontent. In consensus, noone has had to compromise. We have discovered that synocracy works best in our setting when everyone is an independent entrepreneur, sharing common space and overhead and working as much or as little as is comfortable for their life style. In a synergistic health center synocracy there are no superior or inferior disciplines, they are all part of the whole.
Any person can be the initial contact of the patient.
This approach works best when egocentric needs are minimized for the good of the entire center. This administrative structure eliminates a designated gatekeeper. In most other wholistic settings, these are by design the MD's. Since the staff are working for the benefit of the patient, losing a patient to another practitioner is not as important as having that patient receive the best available option. It also eliminates persons working for one individual and thereby having employee status and thereby beholden to the whims and vagaries of a single employer.
