Ed Morrison · Some common sense on health care
December 19th, 2009
From the head of the Mayor Clinic:
“How are we going to deal with that level of complexity when there are so many interrelationships?,” he asked and then proceeded to answer his own question:
“The only way I can think of dealing with it is taking the approach from a systems viewpoint and to state a vision of a future state that you want: where do we want to be? Let’s start with the vision. Then you need leadership to get to that vision, and you have to have system thinking to try to solve the problem.”
He went on to say that many think that in the US we have a broken health care system, which we can now proceed to fix. “The fact is we don’t have a system. If we do, I want to know who designed it. Point me to the person. Where are the system engineers? What academic center thought this up? Nobody actually consciously formed the system.”
