One of a very few clinically-active Doctor-Designer-Innovators in America, I am many things, but most of all I am someone who works tirelessly to make things better.
There are a lot of really smart, creative and dedicated people out there creating the future of health and healthcare, each coming at it from a different point-of-view, using a different language and often defining success differently. Success in the future demands that we move beyond what constrains us today. Success mandates that we learn to speak the same language and align to the same measures of success and value.
The time think and act differently is now. Consumers are demanding it. Regulators are requiring it. Payers are expecting it. And, quite honestly, it’s just the right thing to do.
