Podcast appearances and mentions of Stephen K Klasko

Socrates tells us the unexamined life is not worth living. We can't improve and move forward without an understanding of where we are. Our guests today, Stephen Klasko, MD, MBA, and healthcare journalist Ken Terry, are on firm ground as they look to the future of healthcare. They have collaborated on a book, Feelin' Alright: How the Message in the Music Can Make Healthcare Healthier. Stephen K. Klasko, MD, MBA, is the former president of Thomas Jefferson University and CEO of Jefferson Health. Ken Terry is a veteran healthcare journalist and author who has written two other books on healthcare reform. Feelin' Alright leverages the emotional power of song lyrics to inspire healthcare executives to envision and build a more accessible, high-quality, and equitable healthcare system. Using music as a metaphor, the author encourages readers to examine what is problematic in the existing healthcare model and to take tangible steps toward a more consumer-centered healthcare experience. Each chapter features Klasko's multifaceted perspective and is anchored with a song that reflects the chapter's central themes. Topics explored include: Why consumers are starting to rebel against traditional healthcare. How technology can be used to transform healthcare through consumer empowerment. How medical education must evolve to prepare physicians for paradigm shifts. What radical changes are needed to decrease health inequity.

Stephen K. Klasko, MD, MBA is President and CEO of Thomas Jefferson University and Jefferson Health. Prior to joining Jefferson, Dr. Klasko was CEO of USF Health and Dean of the Morsani College of Medicine at the University of South Florida. He also served as Dean of the College of Medicine at Drexel University and CEO of Drexel University Physicians. He is Editor-in-Chief of the journal Healthcare Transformation, author of The Phantom Stethoscope: A Field Manual for an Optimistic Future in Medicine, and a sought-after speaker on the transformation of clinical practice, healthcare information technology and physician leadership. In this conversation, Stew and Stephen talk about innovation in healthcare. Stephen is convinced that doctors need to transform the way they interact with patients in order to transform medicine. Currently, the medical profession is competitive, hierarchical, and non-creative. Doctors lack the empathy, teamwork skills, and creativity needed to address issues many patients face. Stephen is working to change this culture at Jefferson Medical School by admitting medical students for not only GPA and MCAT scores but Emotional Intelligence scores. This effort will result in better outcomes for patients and harmony between work and the rest of life for doctors. Listen and learn about these and other innovative approaches to preparing the next generation of doctors and what these changes might mean for your life.
