SXSW Series: Rasu Shrestha, Chief Strategy Officer & EVP at Atrium Health

In this episode of Health Fail, we sit down with Rasu Shrestha who recently left his role as Chief Innovation Officer at UPMC to become Chief Strategy Officer & EVP at Atrium Health. Dr. Shrestha shares his views on failure as a gift and the importance of embracing our failures to avoid essentially failing twice. Throughout his career he has been working to build a culture where failure is celebrated by creating a safe space for his team to experiment and fail. In the conversation, we also dig into clinician burnout, the allergic reaction to failure in medicine, self-reflection, and not being afraid to kill an idea and put it behind you.
