Presenteeism, brownout, and burnout are rampant in healthcare today, creating a silent pandemic among healthcare workers. Imagine a healthier alternative: a collaborative and innovative environment where resources are optimized. The “Hawthorne effect” teaches us that any new project can initially boost these factors as teams rally around a shared purpose. This means projects inherently offer an immediate, additional benefit beyond their core objectives. To sustain these gains, continuous iteration is key—reinforcing lessons learned and enhancing information flow, creating a self-perpetuating cycle of improvement. What initiatives are you driving in your team or organization to achieve this ideal state? Hear more in a podcast overview of my book at https://bit.ly/RH-audio

My battles with cancer and a broken shoulder revealed a critical truth about healthcare: while the people are phenomenal, they’re often confined to silos. This fragmentation causes patients and vital information to slip through the cracks. Yet, a recent collaborative effort in Brisbane with Queensland Health and RACS offered a powerful alternative. By focusing on enhancing healthcare processes for both patients and staff, we witnessed a surge in fulfillment, a willingness to go above and beyond, and a fertile ground for collaboration and innovation. This approach is fundamental to delivering safer, more efficient healthcare and optimizing resource allocation.

I had an incredible few days in Brisbane collaborating with Health and to drive innovation in healthcare. Focusing on improving healthcare processes for both patients and workers not only fosters fulfillment but also unlocks discretionary effort, paving the way for greater collaboration and creativity. These elements are essential for delivering safer, more efficient healthcare while optimizing resource use. For more ideas, see my blog at https://bit.ly/DF-Blog

Ready for real healthcare transformation?

Two groundbreaking works prove the same truth: When clinical expertise meets business acumen—with patients as equal partners—we eliminate waste, improve outcomes, and restore purpose to healthcare. The road to burnout becomes the road to fulfilment.
