  • Summary

  • In this episode, host Kurt Schmidt interviews Douglas Slakey, a transplant surgeon and chair of health system science at Belmont University Frist College of Medicine. Slakey discusses the importance of simulation training in healthcare, which prepares professionals for unexpected situations and improves patient outcomes. He shares an example where simulation led to the use of ultrasound for kidney dialysis with better results.

    The conversation highlights the value of leadership participation in simulations to boost communication and empathy. Slakey underscores the need for clear vision and outcome articulation to drive change. At Belmont University, he is building a center for health system science to innovate and transform healthcare sustainably.

    Key discussion points include aligning education with patient needs, translating data into action, and managing healthcare complexities with empathy and compassion. Leadership qualities emphasized are focusing on broader goals, welcoming diverse opinions, and considering the interconnected roles in patient care.

    Slakey introduces his book, "The Process Manifesto: Improving Healthcare in a Complex World," which explores these themes and is available on Amazon. He advocates for an "adhocracy" approach, empowering frontline workers akin to NASA's strategy, and treating employees as valuable assets.
