[Encore Episode] Stephanie Lahr, MD — Bringing the Joy Back to Medicine
Manage episode 378706559 series 3253542
Our healthcare systems will never experience the transformational changes they need unless we consider the system-level solutions that are capable of leading to widespread change. Luckily, Stephanie Lahr and Artisight are on the frontlines of this industry-wide battle. Stephanie began her career as an internal medicine physician, but she was always fascinated by the intersection of health IT and care delivery. Now, several years later, Stephanie has leveraged her experience as a physician to uniquely excel in multiple administrative roles that are not commonly occupied by physicians. Her unique experience and background lay the groundwork for the fascinating conversation she had with host John Farkas, in which they discussed several best practices for creating systematic change in healthcare.
