Transform: Robert Groves

In this special edition of the Groves connection, Dr. Groves is interviewed by Sanjeev Agrawal. This is an audio-only rebroadcast of a portion of the Becker's Healthcare, LeanTaas virtual summit that first aired on December 7, 2021. While the bulk of the summit was focused on specific strategies to streamline hospital operations (worth a deep dive into the sessions), Sanjeev and Dr. Groves discuss the broader impact of the pandemic and lessons learned across the healthcare system. They cover the difference between operational innovation vs clinical innovation, how the two overlap and create synergy; the roots of the staffing shortage, where that leads and how automation can help. They also discuss healthcare equity, social determinants of health, healthcare systems literacy, and then recommend the prioritization of technology resources based on current and future payment systems.
