Healthcare Disruption / Transformation Healthcare is ripe for disruption, where do start looking at this big system to create disruption? Healthcare is inefficient; Inefficiency is unethical Clinicians are the most important aspect of the equation Healthcare lacks situational awareness Joy in Practicing Medicine: Physicians, Nurses and Care Providers got into medicine the patients and the joy of practicing medicine, yet we hear a lot about physician's being very dissatisfied with their careers. What do you guys see happening here? Clinicians should focus on patients. Visibility of logistics should be taken care of for them. 'I' in the middle of the triangle. 2008 -> Today We've implemented tech so fast that we didn't re-engineer the process. Help healthcare unpack transaction system of data. Think about radar for real time pings. Design Thinking. First stage, empathy. Do you understand the problem emphatically? Broke Healthcare into 15 domain areas and now 6 core offerings. Flare... Deep experience helps them to identify the domain ares. Start with empathy. Chose orders management first. Revenue cycle. Care management. Interdisciplinary communication - Dr's talking to themselves. Formed design teams. Made of clinicians, not admins and techs. Worked directly with these teams.

I've heard you talk about Situation Awareness as part of the solution. Can you explain what that means to you? How do you create that in such complex healthcare environments?

Genomics are the next wave. Won't make it simpler. Will make it more complex. Without cleaning up foundation getting there will hard. Precision medicine. Fee for performance. Standard questions One piece of tactical advice you'd give our ambitious corporate audience that they can put in place today to help them change their life / career?
