Healthcare leaders are constantly being asked to do more: adopt new technology, improve efficiency, expand access and deliver better outcomes. But what if the better question is what they should stop doing, rethink or redesign?Members of the Senior Executive Healthcare Think Tank are challenging leaders to look beyond the usual measures of progress. Their perspectives examine whether healthcare processes are designed around patients, whether technology is actually reducing burden, whether clinicians are spending time on work that matters and whether organizations are willing to question structures and practices that no longer serve their purpose.Taken together, their answers make a compelling case for a different approach to healthcare leadership: Before asking how to do more, ask what is worth doing at all. Below, they offer up 11 questions they think healthcare leaders need to be asking, and how those questions could fundamentally improve care.
