In S5 E12 I am delighted to introduce Dr Josh Case to the podcast. Josh is a medical doctor, software developer, startup founder and author. He is passionate about making the world's healthcare systems safer and more efficient by applying new and existing technology and by building the capability for individual clinicians to make change.
In this conversation Josh describes his early experiences of combining his dual skills as clinician and software developer to create tech solutions to improve the time and cost efficiency and reduce complexity of some of the administrative tasks required of his colleagues. We discuss some of the challenges of and opportunities for intrapreneurship within the healthcare system. A key thread relates to the need to maintain the necessary core business of healthcare and the safety, quality and clinical governance around this but also integrate innovation with a concomitant quality improvement process. I particularly loved his reflections about building the needed organisational architecture and internal networking to create cultures of safety, innovation and change.
We share a passion for clinician wellbeing and Josh has a unique lens on the medical workforce landscape through GoLocum. Again this leads to questions about how we can create the much needed agility, flexibility and investment and value of generalist skills needed to match demand and supply across the country going forward.
There will need to be a part 2 to this conversation as I suspect I barely scratched the surface here. Thank you Josh
