From the author of The Epidemic of Empathy in Healthcare and The Good Doctor comes a book that explores how the pandemic and other crises revealed what excellence in healthcare truly means and presents an action plan to achieve it.The goal of healthcare has always been to reduce suffering, but three perfect storms of recent years-the health storm produced by the Covid-19 pandemic; the economic storm that resulted from its disruptions; and the social storm that followed the murder of George Floyd, which sparked fresh outrage at longstanding inequities-have sharpened and added important nuances to our understanding of what that means. In Healthcare's Path Forward, Thomas Lee explores how the work of healthcare is being transformed by a deeper knowledge of what suffering means for patients, their families, and healthcare providers themselves. To respond, healthcare organizations must:deserve, earn, and build the trust of patientsdeserve, earn, and build the trust of the healthcare workforcebuild a resilient, high reliability culture with a broadened concept of safetybuild an inclusive culture that treats every patient and every employee with respectextend patient-centeredness to embrace consumerism, and work relentlessly to remove friction from the patient experiencerespond to the imperatives of the new marketplace for high-value care focused on long-term outcomesLee uses data to demonstrate trends and insights into how health systems can thrive, offers examples of organizations making major advancements, and provides specific, practical recommendations for healthcare leaders, clinicians, and other caregivers. This book is a thoughtful, impassioned call to work toward excellence and forge healthcare's path forward-together.
From a visionary leader comes a game-changing guide to help you face your fears, transcend discord and polarization, and drive positive systemic and societal changeWhen Marc Harrison became CEO of Intermountain Healthcare, one of the nation's largest health systems, the organization was financially sound and had a sterling reputation for delivering excellent care. But Harrison wasn't content to uphold that reputation; he knew it could be even better. As an IRONMAN triathlete, he had a drive to push boundaries; as a two-time cancer survivor, he had a deeper empathy for patients and a greater sense of urgency. Harrison led an ambitious transformation that has unleashed Intermountain's workforce not only to improve the organization but to look beyond it and tackle a range of problems that have plagued both the industry and our broader society. Bucking the prevailing culture of conflict and polarization, leaders at all levels are empowered to convene diverse stakeholders in unorthodox ways to solve problems that affect everyone.In Possibility Unleashed, you'll learn what happens when you:Walk in others' shoesEmbrace an outsider's perspectiveLook in the mirrorFix what isn't broken . . . yetUnlock the genius at the bedside (or at the front line)Ask "What if?"Make "frenemies"Go upstreamStand up for what's rightColor outside the (red and blue) linesYou'll find real-life examples of how this works in action-from a liberal, Harvard-trained program manager partnering with a leading gun rights advocate to address the issue of firearm-assisted suicides to a healthcare organization fighting high prices and drug shortages by working with its competitors to establish a not-for-profit generic drug company that benefits all. And while other health systems stand by as their communities struggle with poverty, crime, and other seemingly nonmedical issues, Intermountain is investing millions to address them, recognizing that they in turn profoundly affect people's health. It's a radical approach to leadership that shuns the status quo to create lasting transformative change. In Possibility Unleashed, you'll discover the blueprint to making a far greater impact on society than you'd imagined while also building strong, financially healthy organizations where people love to work.
