The pandemic has put the healthcare system under extreme stress. Postponed surgeries will be challenging to reschedule. The burden of untreated or under-treated cancer, heart disease and mental health conditions is likely to be with us for years to come. But even now, during COVID19, the healthcare system has begun to transform itself in ways until recently not thought possible. As a front line ED physician and medical broadcaster, Dr. Brian Goldman has seen this up close.
In this presentation, he will share examples of disruptive innovation for the better that have taken place during the pandemic as well as those yet to come.
Powerful and engaging, this presentation takes audiences away from the theatre of medicine and into the world at large, investigating why kindness is essential to our well-being. Dr. Goldman shares personal anecdotes from his quest to expand his own sense of empathy, as discussed in his recent book. Audiences will also hear some captivating and moving stories from around the planet, showing the secrets to success of the most empathic people alive.
In order to make healthcare safer for patients, it’s critical to have more whistleblowers. Some people regard Edward Snowden as a hero for exposing government wrongdoing, while others believe he is threatening national security. Surprisingly, whistleblowers are quite unusual in healthcare. Using excerpts of interviews from his radio program White Coat, Black Art, Dr. Goldman explores the need for whistleblowers in the sector and examines why there are so few of them. He cites examples of hospital whistleblowers and what happened to them when they spoke up. He points to the United Kingdom as a shining example of a country that is making healthcare safer by turning whistleblowing into a virtue. This could be a powerful model for health systems in North America.
