S10-Ep3: Curing Complexity in Healthcare
Episode description
Guest: Carsten Engel
There’s a big gap between resources and patient needs in the healthcare sector. That’s just one area of healthcare requiring change; without it, lives truly do hang in the balance.
Carsten Engel and the International Society for Quality in Healthcare have studied healthcare systems around the globe extensively, and they have practical solutions for patients, practitioners, and the leaders of the medical industry. He shares them with host Maureen Metcalf in this episode. And most of them can help leaders in any industry.
Here's what Carsten and Maureen cover:
- The quintuple aim for healthcare worldwide;
- Why it’s critical for doctors to view (and treat) patients as partners in their health; and
- Why healthcare may well be the most complex system humans have invented!
