What you’ll get out of this episode
Listen in as host Tim Fitzpatrick chats with Owen Willis about the role of education across stakeholders and systems in healthcare. Owen discusses the power of education in creating patient ownership and enabling frontline clinicians to focus on delivering great care (and less so on whether the information is complete, accurate and up to date). Owen also dives into the challenges of clinician retention, risks surrounding the patient-clinician relationship, and how education can play a role in reducing risk for patients, providers and systems alike.
In this episode you’ll discover:
- The majority of healthcare education content is targeted at clinicians and providers, which means most patients struggle to understand important health information.
- From the provider's point of view, there is a big difference between learning content in a school setting and applying it in the practice of medicine, nursing or frontline care.
- How providers are always learning new information and new discoveries as knowledge of the human body evolves, which means providers need to be able to access, understand, and teach the updated information to their patients.
- The playbook for building effective partnerships between founders and internal champions, and why founders need to have their stories down, find their champions, and build support and “whisper networks” around that long-term vision.
- Why startup champions inside large healthcare organizations should understand risk dynamics and share candid feedback with founders and their teams.
