Until I find the time to publish my own thoughts on working in the healthcare industry, I will be using my blogs to highlight and summarize some interesting articles that I've read: http://www.cnn.com/2012/05/13/opinion/gawande-doctors/index.html?hpt=hp_bn7 Bottomline of the article: Doctors may be specialized and therefore very qualified in their fields, but they need to put their egos aside and work together as a team rather than in silos. A single patient that goes to the hospital may be seen by several different doctors and health practitioners and therefore it is important for doctors to work together as a team in the best interest of the patient. Another helpful tactic would be to introduce well-designed checklists for doctors so that they can avoid costly mistakes or memory lapses.
