09 – Interview with Dr. Craig Samitt, President & CEO of Blue Cross Blue Shield of MN and Stella

The purpose of this podcast series is to showcase how leadership is the essential ingredient to address the ever-growing issues and challenges facing the US healthcare industry. As we know, the great majority of these challenges are too complex and wide ranging for any one sector to solve independently. This is where a health ecosystem leadership approach pays more than significant dividends. Solutions which emphasize how the various sectors of the health industry – such as hospitals and health systems, pharmaceutical companies, payers, policymakers, local government, community organizations – operate interdependently are the only ones with the potential to deliver on critical imperatives, like affordability, access, and outcomes. 

During this podcast, we will introduce you to some of the best and brightest health ecosystem leaders, who will share practical examples of how they have successfully demonstrated a collaborative mindset and the critical behaviors that lead to positive outcomes for their organizations, their patients, and the communities they serve. The behaviors and competencies these leaders demonstrate form the basis of our Health Ecosystem Leadership Model (HELM™), a framework for how leaders generate cross-sector solutions to the healthcare industry’s most pressing needs by envisioning a new future, aligning diverse stakeholders, managing boundaries and obstacles, and continuously acting and learning.
