Ep 9: How Healthcare Leaders Make Better Decisions (The WRAP Method Explained)

Healthcare leaders make high-stakes decisions every day, yet most have never been formally trained in how to make better decisions.   In this episode of Viral Healthcare, we introduce the WRAP method, a simple but powerful framework developed by Chip and Dan Heath to improve decision-making and avoid common cognitive biases. From narrowing options too quickly to overconfidence and short-term thinking, these challenges affect individuals and organizations across healthcare systems.   We explore how healthcare leaders can widen their options, reality-test assumptions, create distance before deciding, and prepare for uncertainty. These strategies help improve decision quality, reduce risk, and strengthen long-term outcomes in healthcare leadership and management.   If you are responsible for strategy, operations, or innovation in healthcare, this episode will give you a more structured way to approach complex decisions with greater clarity and confidence.  Hosted on Acast.
