Breaching the Boardroom
Aligning People, Process, and Purpose in Modern Medicine with Dr. Douglas Slakey
🩺 What if we redesigned healthcare around the people delivering and receiving it — not the systems that surround it? In this episode of Breaching the Boardroom, host David Mauro (NetGain Technologies) is joined by Dr. Douglas Slakey, internationally recognized transplant surgeon, founding chair of Health Systems Science at Belmont University’s College of Medicine, and bestselling author of The Process Manifesto.
Together, they unpack the challenges and opportunities in healthcare today — from why the system often fails frontline providers, to how technology, data, and leadership can realign healthcare with its original purpose: people.
