Episode 8: Chip Heath on what US healthcare can learn from one-click ordering


Listen Later

As a Stanford business professor and author of four bestselling books, Chip Heath knows a thing or two about what motivates human behavior and organizational change. This month, he’ll put that wisdom to the test and take on the toughest of all tasks: Fixing Healthcare.

In Season Two of the podcast, the focus shifts away from searching for the “Leader of American Healthcare” to yet another challenging question. Co-hosts Dr. Robert Pearl and Jeremy Corr are looking for strategists and implementers from outside the medical mainstream to help translate big ideas and disruptive-change theories into real-life healthcare solutions.

As a change-management expert, Chip has been sought out by organizations like Google, Gap, The Nature Conservancy and American Heart Association. But can his knowledge and experience in business translate into practical solutions for twenty-first century healthcare?

The answer is undeniably yes.
