Living Your Purpose Driven Career

Favorite quotes of the episode: "Coaching was driving measurable outcomes, not only for patients but also helping clinicians." "The average interruption time for clinicians is 11 seconds. It's been studied 7 times and every time it's studied, we interrupt [patients] quicker. Only 10% of the time we do a teach-back to ensure patient understanding… and miss empathic opportunities about 90% of the time." "…and I realized at that moment, that medicine is an extraordinary, purposeful instrument that occasionally, diagnoses, treats, and cures disease." "The knowing to doing gap is a chasm, and effective organizations bridge the gap." "You can't manage complex systems with complexity, they have to self-organize around simple principles that are easy to advocate for." "To be a champion, you have to take action to make the things around you better."
