Ep. 6: Why Healthcare Keeps Solving the Wrong Problems

Healthcare leaders spend most of their time solving problems. It is what drives progress and what gives the work meaning. But what happens when the problem itself is misunderstood?  In this episode of Viral Healthcare, Bruce Spurlock explores a critical gap in how organizations approach improvement. Healthcare is very good at identifying problems, but far less effective at diagnosing them. Is the issue structural across the industry, or specific to your organization? Are you responding to real signals, or reacting to the loudest voices?  This conversation challenges the instinct to jump quickly into solutions and instead introduces the idea of “problem sensing” as a more reliable way to drive meaningful change. If the diagnosis is wrong, even the best solution will fail.  Viral Healthcare explores healthcare trends, innovation, leadership, and implementation so professionals across the industry can navigate change with clarity and confidence.  Join the conversation live each Tuesday at 9am PT | 11am CT | 12pm ET on LinkedIn, and follow the podcast on Acast or your preferred podcast platform.  Hosted on Acast.
