Click here to visit the Quality Time podcast page
On this episode of Quality Time, Dr. Tom Lee, chief medical officer at Press Ganey, practicing physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and editor-in-chief of NEJM Catalyst, discusses how healthcare organizations can build resilient systems in a world defined by uncertainty. Dr. Lee emphasizes that success requires becoming comfortable operating in environments that are constantly changing. To illustrate this complexity, Dr. Lee introduces the concept of BANI, a framework that captures the realities healthcare organizations face:
- Brittle systems that can break
- Widespread anxiety among staff and patients
- Nonlinear disruptions, from policy shifts to crises
- An increasingly incomprehensible world of constant change
He emphasizes that organizations with a strong culture and earned social capital are better equipped to build resilient systems to withstand BANI and navigate through challenges and change.
Experts: Dr. A. Osama Gaber, John F. Jr. and Carolyn Bookout Presidential Distinguished Chair in Surgery, chair of the Department of Surgery at Houston Methodist, and the Founding Director of the J.C. Walter Jr. Transplant Center
