Compounding patient safety challenges, the U.S. healthcare industry faces widespread hospital closures, bankruptcies and rising medical costs, forcing health systems to do more with less while maintaining the provision of quality care. To tackle these two problems in tandem, we need to examine a central cause affecting patient outcomes and financial inefficiencies: siloed healthcare software and data.

💡 Transparency and trust. Both are necessary for effective, ethical information sharing. All healthcare leaders should aspire to build and sustain ethically aligned organizations that engender trust with those they serve. A full commitment to transparency often requires a leader’s discernment, commitment and courage to share “the good, the bad and the ugly.” And, often, this requires keen ethical judgment and decision-making that helps leaders determine how and when information is best shared and when sharing can do more harm than good.
